Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To give your chipotle chicken tacos even more smoky chipotle flavor, add a little extra adobo sauce to the chicken mixture.
  • tip 2
    Queso fresco is a mild, fresh white cheese made from skim milk. If preferred, you can substitute shredded Monterey Jack cheese for the queso fresco in this chipotle chicken taco recipe.
