Notes

You can add your favorite veggies like bell peppers or onions to the skillet for extra flavor and nutrition. This dish can be topped with shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream for added richness. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
