Notes

To serve, dish out the layered ingredients into individual bowls. You can also place the toppings on the side for customization. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, separating components to keep them fresh. For added crunch, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips on top before serving. Variations include adding jalapeños for spiciness or using different beans and cheeses.
