🥛Milk🌰Sesame🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For gluten-free, use GF pasta and a wheat-free thickener, and swap the tortilla chip topping for a certified GF corn chip. For dairy-free, replace the cheeses, cream cheese and crema with plant-based versions; for sesame-free, avoid any smoky crema or spice blend that includes sesame.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or limey slaw to balance the rich, cheesy pasta. A side of black beans or roasted corn works well if you want to make the meal heartier.
