FAQs:
Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
A: Yes! Prepare everything except the cheese and lime juice. Reheat and add them just before serving for maximum flavor and freshness.
Q: Can I use a different protein?
A: Absolutely — ground chicken, chorizo, or even shredded rotisserie chicken all work great.
Q: Is this freezer-friendly?
A: It is! Freeze in portions without cheese for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, reheat, and then add cheese and lime juice.
Q: What if I don’t have rice ready?
A: You can use microwaveable rice packets in a pinch or cook quick rice while you prepare the other ingredients.
