Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make a quick side salad by mashing an avocado, stirring it into 1 cup of salsa, then spooning the mixture over shredded lettuce.
  • tip 2
    If desired, you can substitute 1 pound ground beef for the chicken in this Chicken Tamale Pie recipe. Cook the beef over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until brown, making sure to drain any liquid once cooked.
  • tip 3
    For a little heat, add 1 canned chipotle chile, seeded and finely chopped, to the chicken mixture.
