Notes
Variations: This recipe is easy to customize with different vegetables you have on hand. Sometimes I like to chop up a zucchini or squash. Bell peppers are also a great addition. Sometimes I’ll top with avocado and olives.
Freezer instructions: This recipe makes a great freezer meal. Allow to cool and then place the leftovers in a Ziplock bag or freezer container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and warm before eating.
