No kidding, I’ve eaten this 4 times in the last month!

What You’ll Need

Now, let’s talk about what goes into this recipe. It’s incredibly simple, with ingredients that are easy to find and likely already in your kitchen. Here’s a general rundown:

• Protein (chicken, ground beef, turkey, or tofu for a vegetarian version)
• Seasonings (garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and any other spices you love)
• Fresh Veggies (like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition)
• Cheese (shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or whatever cheese you’re craving)
• Sauce or Base (think creamy, tangy, or savory like salsa, sour cream, or a tomato-based sauce)
• Carbs (rice, pasta, or even tortillas for a handheld version)

How to Make It

The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity. The steps are minimal, but the flavor is anything but! Here’s how you can whip it up:

Step 1: Prep Your Protein

Start by cooking your protein of choice. If you’re using chicken, cook it through and shred it. For ground beef or turkey, brown it with a little bit of oil and drain any excess fat. If you’re using tofu, press it to remove excess moisture and sauté until crispy.

Step 2: Add Veggies and Seasoning

Once your protein is ready, add in your chopped veggies and cook until softened. I like to use bell peppers, onions, and spinach, but feel free to throw in whatever you have on hand. Season everything with garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and any other spices you enjoy (paprika, cumin, and chili powder are great options).

Step 3: Assemble the Dish

At this point, you can either layer everything in a baking dish (if you want a baked version) or just mix everything together in a skillet. Add a layer of cheese and any sauce you want to include, like salsa, sour cream, or a creamy ranch dressing.

Step 4: Bake or Serve

If you’re baking it, pop everything in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. If you’re not baking, just stir everything together in the skillet, let the flavors meld, and serve as is. Either way, it’s delicious!

Step 5: Enjoy!

Serve it up with a side of rice, chips, or even in tortillas for a wrap. Top with extra cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or some fresh herbs, and you’re ready to dig in!
