Notes
Thickening the Sauce: If the sauce is too thin after cooking, you can simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes to reduce and thicken it to your desired consistency.
Garnish Creatively: Sprinkle fresh cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of seeds like sesame or pumpkin seeds over the finished dish to enhance the flavors and add texture.
