# Extra Tips:

For a vegetarian alternative, substitute ground beef with black beans, lentils, or plant-based meat. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pizza crust or tortilla. Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or Mexican cheese blend can be used in place of cheddar and mozzarella. Garnish with avocado, cilantro, olives, sour cream, or salsa for additional flavor.
