Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

tip 1
Chorizo is a Spanish meat made from pork, garlic and smoked paprika. It is often sold in spicy and mild varieties—feel free to use whatever you prefer in this recipe.
tip 2
Bulk up your bowl with your favorite toppings! We like topping ours with shredded cheese and finely chopped green onions, but feel free to add on slices of avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, a spoonful of salsa and more.
tip 3
If you can't find or don't want to use Old El Paso™ fajita seasoning, you can use Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning instead.
