🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, use plant-based sour cream and a melting vegan cheese in place of the creamy toppings. For gluten-free, swap the flour tortillas for certified gluten-free tortillas; if you want less heat, use mild sauce and skip the hot sauce.
What to serve with it
Serve with a bright green salad, charred corn, or a simple bean side to balance the rich, spicy quesadillas. Extra lime wedges, avocado, and a chilled beer or sparkling water also work well for a fresher, fuller plate.
