Making a taco buffet for your little one is a playful way to make meals exciting. It will be like a mini food party that encourages them to try new textures and flavors, all while enjoying the process of creating their own tacos. If your child is learning to like mixed foods, you can serve deconstructed, while continuing to show them how you enjoy your tacos. They will catch on eventually. When ready to eat, reheat the chicken separately to maintain its juiciness. Warm the tortillas and assemble the tacos just before serving. You can also freeze your leftover chicken for up to 3 months.
