Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if the mixture seems thick.

Variations: Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños with the onions for extra flavor and heat. You can also stir in a packet of taco seasoning instead of plain salt for a more traditional taco flavor.
