Cooking Tip

Diced Green Chilies

Green chilies are fairly mild. Substitute seeded and diced serrano, jalapeno, habanero or chipotle peppers for some real heat. Always use caution when handling raw chili peppers.

Mexican-Style Cheese Food

Use a cheese like Monterey Jack or Queso Fresco for a bit of bite, and real cheese flavor.
