Chipotle Tamale Pie 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.
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 Let's Bring Back 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.
