Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through. For added nutrition, you can include fresh greens like spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking. Adjust seasonings to taste, and add red pepper flakes for a kick!
