Notes

  • I love adding some extra protein to this dish – fried and crumbled bacon, cooked taco meat (beef or chicken), and chopped rotisserie or grilled chicken are all fantastic options.
  • Want to kick it up a notch? Toss some diced jalapeño peppers in with the tomatoes! Be sure to wear gloves when handling hot peppers, since the oils can cause irritation.
