Made this today w my 6 y/o. Substituted a few things based on what I had in my cabinet; added a lot more seasoning (I'm from Louisiana; we eat spice). Slamming!!! My kid is eating the heck out of it too. Didn't have so didn't use: jalapenos, red onion Exchanged: 1 c. diced cherry tomatoes for the roma tomato, 4 cubes frozen garlic for the clove of garlic, lemon juice for lime, kosher salt for regular salt Added: soy sauce, cayenne pepper, ground red pepper, diced red and yellow bell peppers, 2 cubes of frozen cilantro. -Kim
