Notes

Feel free to swap ingredients based on your pantry. Chicken, shrimp, or canned beans work as excellent substitutes for steak. Store leftover components separately for optimal freshness and enjoyment. Experiment with creative toppings and sauces, and create a build-your-own bowl bar for gatherings!
