Tips
- For a spicier version, mix in jalapeños or substitute with pepper jack cheese.
- Make it vegetarian by replacing the beef with black beans and adding grilled vegetables.
- Wrap leftovers in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
- To reheat, use the microwave first, then toast on a skillet for a crisp exterior.
