🥛Milk🌱SoySwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, swap the cheese and smoky crema for plant-based versions or a creamy avocado topping. For soy-free, use a broth or seasoning blend without soy-based additives if your stock concentrate includes them.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, cilantro-lime rice, or tortilla chips and extra pico for a brighter meal. A chilled citrus drink or light beer helps balance the smoky, spicy, cheesy flavors.
