Tips & Tricks

Add some garlic powder, pepper, and paprika when you cook the vegetables to add more flavor.

Add a pinch of cumin and a teaspoon of chili powder to achieve a more Mexican flavor.

If you like spice, add some tabasco, or your favorite hot sauce.

Serve with some avocado to add a nice flavor contrast.

If you would like to make this vegan, add vegan cheese.
