This is a go-to weeknight meal in our home because it’s SO easy to make, is always delicious. I like 5-ingredient-or-less recipes that I can ramp up or down depending on what I have in my fridge. This is a perfect example of that! You can have this as tacos, over a big salad, or in a bowl with rice or quinoa.
