I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious.

I would have liked this dish more if it had been spicier. I'll add more chili peppers next time.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a vegan cheese alternative. It worked great, and the dish was still delicious.

This dish was a great way to use up leftover macaroni. I added some cooked chicken and vegetables, and it was a complete meal.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra chili powder and cumin, and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroni and cheese turned out too dry. I think I should have added more milk.
