Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best flavor.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent drying.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and some sliced avocado for extra creaminess and flavor.
  • For a deeper, more complex flavor, consider using a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
