🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free bowl, swap the sour cream for a plant-based alternative or extra salsa-style acidity. If you need a milder or different protein, use chicken breast instead of thighs, and skip the hot sauce if avoiding heat.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm tortillas or tortilla chips for extra crunch, plus a simple side salad or black beans to round out the bowl. A cold lager, sparkling water with lime, or iced tea fits the bright, zesty flavors well.
