4 Ingredient Recipe!
Beef: This is a great recipe to use up leftover meat from Taco Night or even ground sausage, shredded chicken, or turkey. If there’s no time to cook beef, or you don’t have any, use a can of chili with meat instead. Easy peasy! Save some cents (and cooking time) and replace the meat with a can of drained black beans or kidney beans.
Cheese: Velveeta is the ultimate cheese for easy, even melting, and bold flavors! Cream cheese can be melted down with shredded cheddar, a Mexican cheese blend, or for a real Mexico flair, use white queso blanco or cotija.
Salsa: Blend your own homemade salsa and make it as spicy as you like or for a less spicy version, use a can of tomatoes (with the juices). Pico de gallo is another option that will add a punch of zesty flavor, too!
Extras: Sliced black olives or jalapenos, diced green chiles, corn niblets, and even some finely chopped broccoli, kale, or cauliflower will go a long way (and add some nutrients as well)!
