Notes:
For meal prep, store each component separately for best texture.
Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb or keto version.
For a spicy version, increase red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha.
Swap beef for ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat for variety.
Can be customized with stir-fry veggies, Mediterranean toppings, or taco-style garnishes.
