For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the other spices. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Colby Jack or a blend of Cheddar and Monterey Jack. If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt before serving. This dish is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
