Chef’s Note

*This is a great recipe for kids! It’s easily customizable - if your kid isn’t a fan of spicejust leave out the chili powder. *Remember to cut the avocado and other toppings into small pieces that are not choking hazards. *For an extra bit of funwhy not decorate the tacos with some parsley or cilantro leaves?
