- Vegan - While this recipe is naturally vegetarian, simply omit the cheese and crema (or use your favorite vegan substitutions) to make it entirely plant-based.
- Gluten-Free Fideos - Swap in your favorite GF angel hair or thin spaghetti broken into small fideos.
- Purely Pantry - If you want to make this recipe using only pantry ingredients, make sure to stock up on canned whole tomatoes, frozen onions, and jarred minced garlic.
- Fideo Tacos or Fideo Tortas - If you love carbs on carbs (who doesn't?!?), load your fideos into warm corn tortillas or crusty bolillos, then top with all your favorite garnishes for a hearty meal.
