Swaps and substitutions
For vegetarian eating, swap the chicken for extra beans, roasted mushrooms, or plant-based chicken. If you avoid spicy food, use a milder pepper or leave out the chili heat; if you skip cilantro, parsley works well instead.
What to serve with it
Serve it with a crisp green salad, lime wedges, or warm tortillas to round out the spicy beans and vegetables. A cooling side like avocado slices, plain yogurt, or slaw helps balance the heat and makes the plate feel more complete.
