• Experiment with toppings: Get creative with your favorite veggies or whatever leftovers you have in the fridge!

Variation

Want to switch things up? Try using black beans instead of white beans, or drizzle some sriracha on top for a twist. You can even double up on the toppings — think guacamole or pico de gallo!

FAQs

• Can I freeze the buffalo mixture? Totally! Just freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
