Onions ought to be an option! Onions make Me sick and I don’t add them. I don’t know why people think they ought to be added to almost anything!
Hi BJ, You can totally omit the onions in any recipe we make. It is how we make our recipe but you can totally leave out onions, and if there are any seasonings you aren’t fond of. If we have jalapenos in any recipe and you are not a fan, leave those out. Same goes for the onions. 🙂
