💡 For an even spicier version, leave the seeds in the jalapeños.Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.Leftovers can be wrapped and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to preserve texture.Use fresh Cheddar for better melting and flavor.If using a cast iron skillet, heat it briefly in the oven first for a crispy bottom crust.
