Notes
Sauté Shallots for Depth: Cooking shallots in olive oil adds a sweet, aromatic base that enhances the overall flavor.
Opt for Brown Rice: Using cooked brown rice adds a nutty flavor and boosts the dish's fiber content.
Balance with Greek Yogurt: If sour cream is unavailable, unflavored Greek yogurt serves as a healthy substitute, adding creaminess and protein.
