- Use a high-quality ground beef, preferably grass-fed, to enhance the nutritional value and flavor.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less jalapeno peppers.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp to maintain their nutritional value and texture.
- Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as bell peppers or zucchini, to make the dish even more colorful and nutritious.
