Instructions

Notes

- For extra protein, add cooked chicken or ground beef to the filling.
- Feel free to add salsa or avocado slices when serving for added flavor.
- Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack for a richer taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
