For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans to the beef mixture. Spice it up! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the ground beef mixture. Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend. For a vegetarian option, replace the ground beef with crumbled plant-based ground meat or sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
