For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles or seasoned black beans. Add diced tomatoes, black olives, or green onions for extra flavor and texture. To make your own zesty Italian dressing, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the ratios to your preference. Consider using different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, to customize the flavor profile. If you want a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ground beef while cooking.
