⚠️Allergens:
🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, swap the sour cream and cheeses for plant-based versions; the lime and hot sauce still keep the flavor bright. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas, and choose a certified gluten-free seasoning blend if needed.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, cilantro-lime rice, or grilled corn to add freshness and round out the plate. A side of extra salsa and cool guacamole also balances the rich, cheesy filling nicely.
