Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    In the (unlikely!) event there is any beef mixture left, bring it home and refrigerate it for lunch the next day. Reheat the beef mixture, wrap in a flour tortilla and serve with fresh toppings.
  • tip 2
    If ripe avocados aren't available, take along two containers of purchased guacamole instead.
