Optional: shredded iceberg lettuce, chopped black olives, diced tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocados, diced onions, sour cream, shredded Mexican blend cheese.
Instructions:
1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook 1 minute more. Do not brown.
