📝 Author Note
This is one of those recipes I can make on autopilot — it’s always a hit in my house, and it’s one of the first things I recommend to my WW clients who want “real food” that doesn’t feel like diet food. My kids pile on tortilla chips and cheese, and I stick with Greek yogurt and cilantro… everybody wins!
