Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), adjusting one rack to the center and another six inches from the broiler.

  5. In a bowl, mix the sautéed mixture with sour cream and Cotija cheese until well combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture back to the skillet and bake for 10-12 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
