Notes

For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lime juice over the finished dish. If using chicken or shrimp, adjust cooking times as needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and for longer storage, consider freezing without tortillas. When reheating, opt for a skillet to maintain texture; avoid the microwave if possible.
