Tips

  • You can use chicken, chorizo, or ground beef instead of steak.
  • You can skip the protein and just have cheesy rice.
  • You can serve it with salsa, fresh pico de gallo, or taco sauce.
  • If you don't like cilantro, you can skip it, but make sure to get your greens in by eating the limes or turning them into a margarita.
