Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix can be substituted for the Chicken Taco Seasoning Mix called for in this chicken rice bowl recipe.
  • tip 2
    Most canned beans can be substituted for the black beans in this recipe. Try pinto, kidney or even garbanzo beans for a change of pace.
