- When selecting jalapeños, choose ones that are firm and brightly colored for the best flavor.
- When buying avocados, choose ones that are slightly soft to the touch, as they will ripen in a few days.
- Instead of chicken breasts, use chicken thighs. This will provide more flavor and richness to the soup.
- Instead of jalapeños, use bell peppers. This will provide a milder flavor and allow for more control over the spiciness of the soup.
Mexican Style Replace the jalapeños with 1/2 cup of diced green bell peppers and add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. Instead of cilantro, use 1/3 cup of fresh parsley. Replace the sazon seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon of oregano.
