For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. Add black beans, diced tomatoes, or bell peppers for extra vegetables and flavor. For a creamier dish, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.

Oct 22, 2024This recipe is very adaptable! I did not have shredded cheddar so I used Monterey Jack, and added diced jalapeños to give it a kick. I also served it with a side of sour cream!
