Notes

The number of servings this makes will depend on how 'seasoned' your kids like their food.
I'd suggest adding 1-2 tablespoons per pound of meat. I usually use one-and-a-half tablespoons when cooking up a pound of meat mixed with a can of black beans.
The amount of sodium per serving will seem high but keep in mind that one serving (two tablespoons) can be used to season one to two pounds of taco meat. Plus, you can always cut back on the amount of salt used to make this seasoning.
If you prefer spicy food, consider adding a pinch or two of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Otherwise, just serve hot sauce on the side (this is what I do).
