Tips

  • If you don't like beans, you don't have to add them.
  • If there is leftover cheese, give it to someone or a pet in the house who enjoys it.
  • For the topping, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to boost protein.
  • Instead of crumbled taco shells, you can use tortilla chips.
