Expert Tips

Take advantage of the abundance of fresh peppers when they are in season and at their most inexpensive. You can vary the heat of the dish by adjusting the amount of hot jalapeño pepper and the cooling yogurt topping.

My husband and I really loved these. I didn't have any bulger so I used quinoa and it turned out great. Although I would make more 2 was not quite enough. I think 3 is a better serving size for those, but we also just had refried beans for a side.
