Notes
Ingredient Substitutions: Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken for a leaner option. For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out.
