Expert Tips

  • If you enjoy a little creaminess in your butternut squash bowl, feel free to add a dollop of Old El Paso™ Crema Mexicana Sour Cream to the top.
  • Look for prechopped butternut squash in the produce department.
  • When handling chiles, be sure to wear kitchen gloves to protect your hands, and be careful not to touch your face or eyes. The seeds and membranes of chiles can cause burns. Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling chiles.
