Blister the skin over an open flame, remove seeds/stem, peel the outer layer away and slice 1/4" strips.
Yum.

cream to fix that. I diced red pepper and put that in. Not really noticeable change in taste but I got more veggies in which is really what I wanted to accomplish.

Olives, for sure.

Some diced zucchini might be good.

Pickled jalapenos.

Diced tomatillos?

Pan roasted frozen corn kernels? They are delicious when slightly caramalized.

For my taste, would skip the cottage cheese and use a dollop of sour cream.
