Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Instead of taco seasoning mix, try using 1 can (14 oz) Old El Paso™ enchilada sauce.
  • tip 2
    If you do not have pork or do not eat pork, you can use chicken breasts or thighs instead.
  • tip 3
    Canned butternut squash or sweet potato can be used instead of canned pumpkin.
