- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to customize the toppings according to your taste. You can add sliced tomatoes or additional pickles if you prefer.
If you're looking for a lower-calorie option, consider using lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with lentils or a meat alternative.
