Because let’s be real—food tastes better when you build it yourself, pile it high, and get a little messy doing it.

Why We Love This Recipe:

✅ Made with simple ingredients
✅ Totally customizable
✅ Light but super satisfying

  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Cook in a skillet with a little oil until browned and cooked through (internal temp = 165°F).
