Notes
Swap the ground beef for shredded chicken or seasoned turkey if desired.
For a vegetarian version, replace the beef with extra beans or sautéed vegetables.
Add black olives, corn, bell peppers, cilantro, salsa, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
Use pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese for a spicier variation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
