For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. Add other toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or guacamole for extra flavor and texture. For a vegetarian option, replace the ground beef with black beans or lentils.
