Noor's Tips for Junior Chefs!
♥For a bit of a spicy kick, add tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper along with the other spices. Top with lots of sour cream, chopped green onions and grated cheese.
♥Adventurer Tip:
♥Make bread bowls to serve in! Buy an uncut loaf and hollow it out, or use smaller individual ones.
