For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a tablespoon of olive oil at the beginning. Consider adding smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level. A squeeze of lime juice at the end can brighten the flavors. Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
