Notes

To reduce fat and calories, substitute low-fat cream cheese or skip the cheddar cheese.

Make it spicier by adding more jalapeños or chipotle powder.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months.

For meal prep, add cream and cheese only when reheating.

Serve with cornbread, tortilla chips, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
