For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. To save time, use pre-cooked rice or microwaveable rice pouches. For a richer flavor, use a combination of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
