Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Leave the toppings off until ready to eat.

Add fresh corn, canned corn (drained) or frozen corn (thawed).

Use ground beef or ground chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken if you'd like.

Use any cheese you'd like. A Mexican blend, Monterey jack, pepper jack, or cojito or queso is wonderful too.

Use any size and colors of bell peppers. If you use larger ones, just just them in half top to bottom and then slice each of those halves in half again.
