Notes
- Get a head start on this meal and then just sprinkle with cheese and bake when you are ready to eat it.
- Feel free to make it more or less spicy depending on your preference.
- You can throw any vegetables you like in to this. Leave the kale out if you want, but it's nice to have some greens hidden in there.
- Sour cream too heavy for you? Top the bake with some Greek yoghurt instead.
