Notes

Serve warm. Cut into wedges and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce like salsa, guacamole, or ranch dressing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until heated through. Use a good non-stick skillet to prevent sticking. Options to add include jalapeños for heat or different cheeses.
