🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for extra black beans, sautéed mushrooms, or seasoned tofu while keeping the rest of the dish intact. Use dairy-free cheese and a plant-based crema for a milk-free option, and skip the bread for wheat-free serving.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted corn, or simple tomato salsa to lighten the rich, cheesy flavors. A cool avocado side or extra lime wedges also works well to balance the smoky spice and hearty beans.
