Notes
Adaptations and variations
Meat — swap out the ground beef for either ground turkey or ground chicken. Cheese — pepper Jack, Mexican cheese blend, and even nacho cheese sauce would all work. Layers — add refried beans, black beans, or pinto beans on top of the meat. Toppings — The possibilities are endless: diced cherry tomatoes, diced red onions, pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of fresh squeezed lime juice.Nutrition
