Made these tonight and the whole family loved them. We have been moving to whole foods plant based and this is a welcome addition!
What’s a substitute for pickled jalapeño juice?( I have fresh jalapeño, a jar of store bought dill hamburger pickles, and I make my own garlic half sour pickles from cucumbers).
Hi Kman,
Thanks so much for reaching out! Unfortunately there is not a good substitute. I would suggest grabbing some pickled jalapeño juice at the store or grab some jalapeños and pickle them yourself if you can.
I was a bit skeptical that my family would like this, but it was a huge it! Instead of taco seasoning I used Trader Joe’s Chili Lime seasoning (we love lime). It was fantastic and we will definitely have it again.
Can you use brown rice in place of quinoa?
