Notes

Make Ahead: You can chop the veggies a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container to make your morning smoother.
Spice It Up: Feel free to add hot sauce or salsa on top for an extra kick. Or add more jalapeno.
Make it Your Own: Top with sour cream if you like. You can even add black olives, ham, or bacon to your veggie mixture.
