🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, swap the sour cream and Pepper Jack for plant-based versions or skip the cheese and add avocado for richness. For a milder bowl, use less green salsa and choose a gentler cheese if pepper-jack heat is too much.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm tortillas, lime wedges, and a crisp cabbage slaw to add freshness and extra crunch. A side of avocado or simple corn salad also balances the spicy, cheesy flavors nicely.
