eef, chicken, or tofu (or another plant-based protein for a vegetarian option)

Instructions

1. Start with the Protein: If you’re using meat, cook it in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil until browned and fully cooked through. If you’re using tofu or another plant-based protein, make sure to press the tofu to remove excess water, then sauté it until it gets crispy. Add in your spice blend—paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili flakes—and let it cook for a minute to release the full depth of flavors.
2. Add the Veggies: Once your protein is cooked and flavored, toss in your veggies. Bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes are a great combo. Stir them into the mixture, allowing them to soften slightly while retaining their crunch and freshness. The veggies will absorb the spices, adding to the overall flavor profile.
3. Layer the Flavor: Once everything is cooked and well combined, taste and adjust the seasoning. A pinch of salt or a squeeze of lime juice can elevate the dish to a whole new level of flavor. This step is key in making sure that every bite packs a punch.
4. Finish with a Creamy Sauce or Dressing: For added richness and flavor, drizzle on some sour cream, Greek yogurt, or even a creamy dressing. The coolness of the sauce contrasts with the spiciness of the dish, making each bite even more satisfying.
5. Top It Off: Add your favorite toppings—shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a few more fresh veggies. These toppings not only enhance the flavor but also provide additional textures that make the dish even more enjoyable.
