🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, skip the cheese and sour cream or use plant-based versions; for vegetarian, swap the beef for extra beans, lentils, or crumbled soy mince. If you avoid heat, choose a mild salsa and leave out the pepper jack for a gentler bowl.
What to serve with it
Serve with crisp tortilla chips, a simple cabbage slaw, or extra lime wedges for brightness. A cold cerveza, sparkling water, or agua fresca fits the spicy, hearty flavors well.
