\ud83c\udf1f Pro Tips<\/h4>\n

For extra flavor, mix Oaxaca and asadero cheese inside the chiles.<\/p>\n

Want a shortcut? Use store-bought green salsa or enchilada sauce.<\/p>\n

For a vegetarian version, skip the lard in beans and use veggie broth in rice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
