Hi, reciper submitter here. I have made a version of this for my kids since they were little and it was always my youngest daughter's favorite dish, even from an early age. I would leave out the chipotle chili powder, since it can be pretty hot, and use a mild chili powder like Trader Joe's or (as I now do) smoked Spanish paprika. You can probably use a little less of the chili powder or the smoked paprika, and then it will still be flavorful without being hot.
Try it and see. Make it the first time for your family with onion, garlic & pepper on the side, along with other garnishes. Everyone can add to taste, or not. You'll see your children's tolerance and interest in spicy flavors for next time.
Chinagem, your question got me thinking about the general matter of taste perception (which is partly smell, partly taste buds and partly conditioning). For example, some parents have succeeded in teaching even young children to eat a wide variety of flavors. But/and others say children's taste changes roughly when they become teenagers. Last, there is the matter of super tasters, non taster and average tasters - which can be noticed at many ages. https://recipes.howstuffworks.com/menus/kids-taste-buds.htm https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2016/05/31/super-tasters-non-tasters-is-it-better-to-be-average/
