  9. mike says:

    i cant eat anything spicy,can i use something other the the peppers?

    1. Jamie says:

      I’m not sure of a good substitute. Although I have never tried them, you could try cherry peppers or poblano – or you can omit the peppers completely if you prefer. It will alter the taste slightly, but it will still be delicious!
