- When picking jalapeno peppers, choose ones that are bright green, firm and smooth.
- For the parmesan cheese, use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor.
- Substitute ground turkey for ground beef - This substitution is a great way to reduce the amount of fat and calories in the recipe without sacrificing flavor. Ground turkey is a leaner option than ground beef, so it is a healthier choice for those looking to eat healthier.
- Substitute cheddar cheese for parmesan cheese - Cheddar cheese is a great substitution for parmesan cheese because it is a milder cheese. It still adds a great flavor to the burger, but it won't overpower the other ingredients. Additionally, cheddar cheese is more widely available than parmesan cheese, making it easier to find in most grocery stores.
