Tips

  • For ultra tender meat, simmer the taco meat directly in water and seasoning without browning it first.
  • Smoked paprika is ideal for the chipotle sauce, but regular works as well.
  • You can chill the chipotle sauce in the fridge to let the flavors marinate.
  • Fritos jalapeno cheddar nacho cheese is recommended for a close approximation.
  • Pre-cooked Spanish rice packets work well for convenience.
