Join the discussionAny suggestions to substitute for tequila in this recipe? I know the alcohol will “cook off,” but we prefer to not use it at all
You could start by trying more chicken broth!
I’ve read that lime juice is also a good substitute for Tequila. Going to try this!
I tried substituting lime juice instead (three small limes) and it worked great!
Is this 8 servings for both bags total, or individual?
This is 8 servings total that you will freeze 4 servings in each bag. Enjoy!
