🥚Eggs🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, skip the cotija and use a little extra pepitas or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a savory finish. For egg-free or lighter needs, choose a chimichurri-style sauce without egg, or replace it with a simple herb-and-lime dressing.
What to serve with it
Serve it with a bright tomato-cucumber salad, avocado slices, or warm cauliflower rice to keep the meal fresh and filling. A squeeze of lime and extra herbs on the side sharpen the Cuban-style flavors without adding heaviness.
