Step 9Stir until fully combined, about 1 minute.
-
Step 10Chef’s Note: I’m not adding any additional salt because my taco seasoning has enough.

-
Step 12Stir until combined.
-
Step 13Allow the mixture to lightly simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
-
Step 14Add the lime juice and stir to combine.
-
Step 15Chef’s Note: You could make this a one-pan meal; however, I prefer to cook the ingredients in a larger pan, and then transfer them to a smaller serving pan. In my case, that would be a small cast-iron skillet.
-
Step 16Add the cheese to the top.
-
Step 17Finish under the broiler, until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown.
