For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add 1 cup of cooked black beans or pinto beans. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can blanch the mustard greens in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before cooking them in the skillet. Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack, for the Mexican cheese blend. The seasoned meat tenderizer can be substituted with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
