Kids Can: Help measure out ingredients, help open cans using can opener (older children), use plastic knife to cut avocado into slices/cubes, crush chips for topping and garnish serving bowls.
Change it up: Use leftover chicken, ground beef or turkey for a different taste (and to help use leftovers!). Add a can of pinto beans or black beans for a fiber boost. You can even make this vegetarian by using vegetable broth and beans as the protein instead of meat.
