I would suggest keeping it simple so that your 7 year old who is so excited can help! kids are never too young to start learning about cooking!.!. I would go with tacos (just follow the directions on the taco seasoning packet) or fajitas (saute chicken with peppers and onions, season with red and black pepper and some v8 or use a seasoning packet)!.!. serve either with tortillas, lettuce, tomato, cheese, salsa, sour cream and homemade guacamole (mash up an avocado then mix in chopped tomato and onion, garlic- powdered or fresh crushed, lime juice and cilantro)
if you want to do rice with it, make a box of goya yellow rice and stir in a little salsa at the end!.!. for beans, I suggest simmering canned black beans with chopped onion and cilantro!.!.
simple enough for your kid to help and a great meal too!Www@FoodAQ@Com
