Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash more milk or using a full tub of cream cheese. Garlic powder can be used as a substitute for garlic salt if needed. If you prefer a bit more heat, add some diced jalapeños or substitute the green chiles with spicier varieties. This dish is versatile and can also take on flavors from other American recipes like Fried Zucchini Cakes.
