Another favorite is the Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce. From soups to rice bowls, it’s a great one to have on hand in the pantry.

  • Use pre-cooked chicken for quick dinner prep. We love using Rotisserie Chicken.
  • Use any of your favorite vegetables to layer in your bowls. It’s nice to personalize it for the kids.
  • Leftovers? No problem,  use them inside burritos for another quick fix dinner idea.
