- The onion and green pepper are optional, so this recipe is easy to simplify.
- If using cream cheese, let it soften a bit first so it melts more easily.
- If you need this recipe to be gluten-free, always check the label on your taco seasoning and broth. Some brands may contain gluten or cross-contact warnings.
Storage and Reheating
