Notes
- Options:
- -Use leftover Pico de Gallo instead of the vegetables (just use the amount to your taste)
- -Use leftover cheese (slightly hard or starting to dry)
- -Use leftover pork, beef fajitas, steak, or dried beef (machacado)
- -Add cilantro or other fresh spices to taste
- -Garnish the top with fresh avocado or put some leftover guacamole on the side
- -Serve with extra bacon and/or Frijoles Refritos
- -Serve with fresh corn or flour tortillas
- -If I use oil or bacon fat, I like to add a piece of butter before the cooking is done. I think it adds to the taste!
