Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add a diced jalapeƱo or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef if you prefer a lighter option. For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef with black beans or a meat substitute. Consider adding corn or black beans for additional texture and flavor. If you like a creamier texture, mix in a can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup before baking.
