This was a great recipe! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out really well. I also added some extra cheese on top, which was delicious.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile and easy to customize. I've made it with different types of beans, corn, and even added some chopped jalapenos for a little extra spice.
