Notes

This recipe can be made spicy with the cayenne pepper listed below, but I remove the cayenne pepper for my kids.The recipe also calls for mild canned green chilis, but since I leave out the cayenne pepper, I like doing one can of mild and one can of hot green chiles. I like this brand, which you can get on Amazon.

I like Kitehill Foods plant-based mozzarella for this recipe.
