Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To save on fat and calories, use ground turkey breast instead of ground beef. You'll save 7 grams of fat and 50 calories per serving.
  • tip 2
    For taco meat with a kick, use half ground beef and half spicy chorizo sausage.
  • tip 3
    Carry out the Mexican theme of your menu with bowls of black beans, Spanish rice, tortilla chips and salsa.
  • tip 4
    Mole sauce is a rich, spicy and slightly sweet Mexican sauce. Look for it with the Mexican ingredients in your supermarket. If it's unavailable, enchilada sauce is a good substitute.
