Safety notes
Children should cook with appropriate adult supervision. Take care around heat, sharp tools and allergens.

- • Teach them how to use a grater carefully to avoid fingers
- • The middle will be hot and cheesy when eating, so let it cool a bit first
Skills learned
Tips for grown-ups
- • Mashing the beans can take a bit of pressure and may require some help. Microwaving beans first makes mashing easier, and aim to mash most beans with some whole beans remaining
- • Most beans in water work well (black, kidney, pinto are most authentic)
- • Add extra spices like cumin, garlic granules, oregano to the beans for extra flavour
Allergens
Contains: dairy, gluten. Always check labels and supervise as needed.
