peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice red onion (see ingredients).
• In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar
and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
• Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add it
to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover
onion. Set aside.

lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil until smooth.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
Little cooks: Help prep the avo!

a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Add Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste and
cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add the water (for the beef), and simmer until
slightly thickened, 1 minute. Season to taste.
• While the beef is cooking, finely chop tomato.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomato with a drizzle of
olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season
to taste.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salsa!
• Drain pickled onion. Bring everything to
the table.

guacamole, pickled onion, zingy tomato, Cheddar
cheese and sour cream.
