Melt the Cheese and Serve
Substitute the ground beef with 1 lb of shredded rotisserie chicken, ground turkey, or chorizo for a different flavor profile.
Omit the ground beef and add an extra can of black beans or pinto beans, along with 1 cup of diced sweet potatoes (sautéed with the onion until tender).
Add 1-2 chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce along with the enchilada sauce, or add a finely diced jalapeño with the onion for extra heat.
Stir in 1 cup of cooked quinoa or rice at the end of the simmering step to make the dish even more hearty and filling.
