What I love most about this recipe is its adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Monterey Jack, cheddar, or even a Mexican blend all work wonderfully. You can also add other ingredients to customize it to your liking. Black beans, corn, or sauteed onions and peppers would all be delicious additions. It's a fantastic way to use up leftover vegetables, too!
