🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free bowl, swap the sour cream for a plain plant-based yogurt or leave it off entirely; the tang will still come through from the lime. For a milder version, reduce or omit the jalapeño, and if needed use a mild onion or extra garlic to keep the flavor lively.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or simple roasted vegetables to add freshness and contrast to the rich, spicy stew. Warm flatbread or crusty bread also works well for scooping and making the meal more filling.
