I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a vegan cheese substitute. The baked Mexican macaroni and cheese was still very good.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The baked Mexican macaroni and cheese was still delicious without it.
