Swaps and substitutions

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for extra black beans, sautéed peppers, or seasoned tofu to keep the meal hearty. If you avoid dairy, use a plant-based sour cream and cheese alternative, or finish with extra lime and avocado for richness.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad, charred corn, or warm tortillas to round out the Southwest flavors and add freshness. A simple avocado or pico de gallo side also works well with the creamy, cheesy profile.
