- When selecting jalapenos, choose ones that are firm and brightly colored for the best flavor.
- If you want to reduce the heat of the recipe, you can omit the jalapenos or reduce the amount used.
- Substitute black beans with kidney beans: This substitution will add a slightly different flavor to the dish, as well as a different texture. Kidney beans are a bit firmer than black beans, and they have a slightly nutty taste.
- Substitute olive oil with avocado oil: Avocado oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil, which makes it a better option for high-heat cooking. It is also a healthier oil, as it is rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamins.
