Notes
- Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Up to 3 months.
- If using ground beef or pork, I recommend to drain the fat.
- Wheat tortillas would work just fine.
- If you don't have diced green chilies, use more taco seasoning or chili powder. Also green bell pepper or jalapenos amount to taste and sauteed works. Throw it in with onions.
- Add corn, skip beans or tortillas - make skillet yours.
