Notes
Storage
Assemble and tightly cover and store for a day in advance.
Make Ahead: You can make each of the from scratch components in advance and then assemble when needed.
Substitutions
Avocado: Personally, I enjoy the texture of the avocado cubes, but you could also use your favorite guacamole, or our Spinach Guacamole for some added sneaky nutrition.
Salsa: Whatever salsa you choose to use, be sure that it is a thicker salsa that has less liquid. For our Roasted Tomato Salsa, see the recipe notes for how to make our salsa for this recipe, and/or add the salsa to a fine mesh sieve and let the liquid from the salsa drain.
Cheese: Use any mixture of your favorites!
Extra Liquid
Depending on the salsa that you use, you may need/want to remove some of the liquid that will separate in to the bottom of the baking dish.
