- When selecting ground beef, look for one with a higher fat content for a juicier steak.
- If you prefer, you can use chopped steak instead of ground beef.
- Substitute ground turkey for the ground beef. The benefit of this substitution is that ground turkey is a leaner protein source, which can be healthier for those looking to reduce their fat intake.
- Substitute diced tomatoes for the salsa. The benefit of this substitution is that it will add a more subtle flavor to the dish, as the diced tomatoes will not be as spicy as the salsa.
