  • Add some vegetables. Vegetables will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your dish. Some good choices include bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could try adding some chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice.
