Notes

• For a spicy version, add jalapeños, chili flakes, or use hot taco seasoning.
• For a creamy soup, stir in cream cheese, sour cream, or heavy cream at the end.
• Ground turkey or chicken can replace beef for a lighter option.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots for extra nutrition.
• Serve with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, avocado, or lime for more flavor.
