Notes

For a healthier alternative, consider using lean ground turkey or chicken. You can also replace white rice with brown rice or quinoa. Feel free to add more veggies like carrots, peas, or zucchini for added nutrients. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave. Use fresh cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting results. Adding a touch of smoked paprika can give it an extra flavor kick!
