  • If you’re short on time, you can cook on high for about 3 hours instead of low.
  • Feel free to add black beans or corn to the crockpot for added texture and nutrition.
  • Don’t forget to try different toppings! I love adding fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or even a drizzle of sour cream.

Make Ahead and Storage

One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s perfect for meal prep! You can make a big batch and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat!
