For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan cheese mixture. If you don't have sazon seasoning, you can substitute with a blend of salt, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, and annatto. Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal.
