Notes
Want a protein-packed version? Add a layer of cooked halal ground beef or shredded chicken after the cream cheese layer. Looking for more spice? Use a hot salsa and add diced jalapeños. Making it vegan? Substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free shredded cheese.
