Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it dairy-free: Use avocado and skip the cheese.

• Make it spicy: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the skillet.

• Meal prep win: Cook chicken ahead of time and just reheat and assemble when ready.

• Low carb idea: Serve in lettuce wraps or over cauliflower rice for a taco bowl.
