For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky depth. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely minced jalapeño. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to serve a larger crowd. To make this recipe vegan, ensure your vegetable oil is plant-based.
