For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles or lentils. Feel free to adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your liking. To add more heat, use a spicier variety of diced tomatoes with green chiles or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
