Notes
- This is a great recipe to use up any odds and ends you have in your fridge. Feel free to add other veggies to the toppings like shredded lettuce or diced bell peppers.
- If you don't like cilantro, you can swap this for parsley, so you still get a burst of herby freshness.
- Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for the best flavors.
