Notes

Feel free to add more veggies, like carrots or bell peppers, for extra nutrition. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some diced jalapeños. For a creamier texture, you can mix in some sour cream before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It should last for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove until warmed through.
