• Make ahead: Prepare up to 6 hours ahead, cover tightly, and chill.

• Add meat: Layer in seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken above the beans for a heartier version.

• Spice it up: Add diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top.

• Low-carb option: Serve with bell pepper slices, cucumber rounds, or pork rinds instead of chips.
