⚠️Allergens:
🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free eaters, swap the cheeses and crema for plant-based versions that melt and drizzle well. For gluten-free needs, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas; if you want less heat, choose a mild sauce and reduce the spicy seasoning.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, black beans, or a simple corn side to balance the cheesy, spicy filling. Lime wedges, salsa, or pickled jalapeños add brightness and extra heat without making the plate heavier.
