Useful swaps
- Use leftover pot roast or refrigerated fully cooked shredded beef.
- Corn tortillas can turn the filling into tacos instead.
Why this is a good weeknight call
It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
