Serve with crunchy side salad or Mexican corn. This would be a simple meal to make ahead of time! You can cook the entire dish up to 3 days before serving, then reheat in a covered skillet. If reheating over the stove, make sure to stir often while reheating to prevent any parts from burning. You could also place the covered skillet in the oven at 350 degrees F and allow to warm up for about 10 minutes
