Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
Some substitutes:
  • Beef: Use extra lean ground beef or use ground turkey for fewer calories.
  • Bell Peppers: You may use only green or use different colors. Red, green, and orange.
  • Rice: Use brown rice, or white rice if preferred. Another substitute will be quinoa. For a keto option, skip this ingredient.
