I have 3 little kids who don’t like anything spicy. Could I omit the jalapeño and have it still taste good? Or what else would you recommend? Thx!
You could use diced green chiles that are more mild than a jalapeno. Or add sour cream to their bowl just before serving so it’s not spicy.
Thx! Headed to Safeway tomorrow!
