🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese and sour cream or use plant-based versions. To keep it vegetarian, replace the chicken with extra beans or seasoned tofu, and use a vegan cheese if you want the same rich finish.
What to serve with it
Serve these bowls with a crisp green salad, sliced avocado, or warm corn tortillas to round out the spicy, cheesy flavors. A lime wedge, extra salsa, or roasted vegetables also make easy sides that keep the meal bright and filling.
