  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For a richer flavor, use ground chuck (80/20) and be sure to drain the excess grease well before adding the other .
  • Control the heat by de-seeding the green chilies for a milder dish, or use a spicier pepper like serrano for an extra kick.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving will brighten up all the savory flavors.
