Notes

Finish with fresh toppings – Add cilantro, extra Cotija, chili powder, or a sprinkle of Tajín right before serving for a restaurant-worthy finish.
Storage - store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Serving Suggestions - I love serving this with some deliciously crispy tortilla chips and a simple side salad.
