For dairy-free, swap the creamy topping and cheese for plant-based versions, or skip them and add avocado for richness. For wheat-free, use corn tortillas or a certified gluten-free wrap; for shellfish-free, try seasoned chicken, tofu, or black beans.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cabbage slaw, cilantro rice, or charred corn for extra freshness and texture. A cold lager, sparkling limeade, or simple beans on the side rounds out the rich, zesty flavors nicely.
