🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the cream cheese and Pepper Jack for plant-based alternatives that melt well. To avoid wheat, use gluten-free pasta; for less heat, leave out the jalapeño or replace it with mild green pepper.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted zucchini, or black beans for extra freshness and balance. Tortilla chips, lime wedges, or grilled chicken also work well if you want more crunch or a heartier plate.
