Notes
This recipe is the most common way that we make it, but by all means adjust it to your liking. You can add the seasoning of your choice, black beans, or ground pork or turkey for added protein. We've made it numerous different ways over the years, and it tastes even better when the extra sits in the fridge overnight. It will last in the fridge for several days in an airtight container, or you can even freeze the excess.
