Chipotle Tamale PieĀ recipe and back when I was a kid it was a special occasion when we had the chance to enjoy an ice cold coke-cola. I may be giving away my age when I tell you that I can remember sucking down an ice cold coke out of one of those cute little green, six ounce bottles.
Ā Believe it or not when I was a teen you could still find a soda machine dedicated to coke-cola and on the side was a bottle opener because these bottles did not have twist off caps like they all do now.
Chef's Ingrid Hoffmann and G.Gavin have teamed up with Coke-Cola for Coke With Meals through My Coke Rewards. Sharing recipes and stories of their memories of enjoying a Coke during meal time.
Getting the kids involved in meal time is a great way to spend quality time together. Check out Ā Let's Bring Back Ā Family Meal Time for great tips and tricks to get your family involved and to learn why cooking with the kids can be so important.
I checked out all the recipes and decided to try out Ingrid Hoffman's Chipotle Pie recipe. It sounded really good and I love Mexican food. This was my chance to try out a recipe using ground turkey instead of beef.
I've never substituted ground turkey for beef in a recipe before and I was curious to see how it tasted.
I loved the turkey in this recipe. The family loved it and couldn't even tell that it was made with ground turkey instead of ground beef.
I put my own little spin on the recipe and changed up a few of the ingredients.
