SPICY Jalapenos add a touch of heat. You can increase the spice level by leaving the seeds in the jalapenos or by adding a little taco seasoning or chili powder. VEGGIES For extra crunch (and color) add diced bell peppers and red onion. Some other great veggies to add are tomatoes, tomatillos, or avocados. Don’t forget the lime juice and cilantro for the perfect balance of flavors!
