Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a natural peanut butter that's more runny; you can adjust the water to achieve your desired consistency. If you're looking for a nut-free alternative, sunflower seed butter works well. Adding spices like cumin or paprika can enhance the flavor. To make it a heartier dish, mix in vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini, which can also be used as a filling for baked green peppers.
