For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika to the ground beef while it's browning. Feel free to adjust the amount of salsa and green chilies to control the heat level of the dish. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use a blender or immersion blender to puree the salsa before adding it to the ground beef. This dish is also delicious with other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
