Delicious Mexican Starter For Your Kids After School

1. Mexican Skillet Lasagna

Tortilla strips replace the noodles in this quick Mexican-inspired lasagna recipe, which becomes delicate ribbons in the cayenne and cumin-spiked tomato sauce. The lasagna, which is topped with Cheddar and cream cheese, is just as soulful as its Italian cousin and can be made in just 30 minutes using a single skillet on a busy weekday.

2. Cheese Quesadillas with Peppers & Onions

With the addition of sautéed peppers and onions, these 15-minute quesadillas go above and beyond. Allow the kids to pile on the toppings at the table.

3. Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Crema

In this fast crema with cilantro, avocado replaces some of the sour creams for a healthier taco sauce that elevates these shrimp tacos to new heights. Shrimp cook quickly, making them the ideal taco filler for a quick weekday meal that looks and tastes impressive enough for a weekend dinner party.

4. Virgin Layered Strawberry-Mango Margaritas

This frozen mocktail is both tasty and attractive. Layers of blended strawberries and mango, with a hint of zesty citrus taste, come together to make a delicious non-alcoholic cocktail that’s free of the excess calories and sugar found in a standard restaurant margarita.

5. Freezer Bean & Cheese Burritos

This copycat version of frozen burritos from the grocery is ideal for meal prep. Make a huge batch to freeze for healthy lunches on the go or a quick campground meal.

6. Build-Your-Own Chicken Tacos

Every element of tacos is kept separate in this kid-friendly recipe, so your child can choose to eat them separately or have fun assembling their own little tacos with their favorite toppings. It’s also ideal for adding into a bento box for a nutritious school meal.
