Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free, swap the sour cream element for an unsweetened plant-based yogurt or a dairy-free sour cream. If you want a different protein, use bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks in place of the chicken legs, keeping the same bold seasoning profile.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or simple sautéed greens to balance the smoky, rich flavors. Warm cornbread or crusty bread also works well for soaking up the saucy beans and creamy finish.
