🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the sour cream and cheeses for plant-based alternatives and choose a creamy vegan sauce. To avoid wheat, use corn tortillas or a wheat-free wrap; for less heat, leave out the hot sauce and use mild salsa instead.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, cilantro-lime rice, or black beans to round out the meal and balance the rich, cheesy filling. A little extra salsa, avocado, or pickled jalapeños on the side adds freshness and heat.
