For an added layer of flavor, consider sautéing a clove of minced garlic in a teaspoon of olive oil before adding the other ingredients. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick. Feel free to experiment with different types of salsa to vary the flavor profile. A roasted tomatillo salsa would be particularly delicious. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
