Notes
This recipe has a medium to medium-high spiciness level - it's definitely got some “kick” to it. For a milder flavor, we recommend generously reducing or omitting the red pepper flakes. For a very mild flavor, also reduce the chili powder to just a pinch.
Our favorite add-ons upon serving: sliced avocado, cheddar cheese, and/or fresh cilantro!
This dish is also delicious wrapped in corn tortillas as a more traditional fajita.
