⚠️Allergens:
🥚Eggs🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For egg-free needs, swap the mayonnaise-based crema for a dairy-only or plant-based sauce, and use a vegan mayo if needed. For dairy-free or vegan diners, skip the cheese and choose a soy-free, wheat-free tortilla if those allergens are a concern.
What to serve with it
Serve with extra lime wedges, a simple black bean salad, or avocado slices to round out the smoky-spicy flavors. A chilled lager, agua fresca, or sparkling citrus drink also pairs nicely with the crisp texture and tangy toppings.
