For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño to the onion and garlic while sautéing. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Monterey Jack or Oaxaca cheese would also be delicious. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor and visual appeal.
