- When selecting jalapenos, choose ones that are firm and bright green for the best flavor.
- When choosing tomatoes, pick ones that are ripe and red for the best flavor.
- Substitute the olive oil with coconut oil. Coconut oil is a healthier alternative to olive oil and has a higher smoke point, making it a better option for high heat cooking.
- Substitute the jalapeno with bell peppers. Bell peppers are milder than jalapenos and are a great way to add flavor without too much heat.
