Notes

  • A bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix works great for a shortcut.
  • Customize with extras like jalapeños, diced peppers, or even black olives.
  • Swap the beef for ground turkey or spicy sausage to switch up the flavor.
  • Toppings like sour cream, diced avocado, salsa, or chopped tomatoes add even more flair.
