⚠️Allergens:
🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, use plant-based shredded cheese and a dairy-free creamy sauce, since the recipe relies on both cheese and crema. For gluten-free, swap in corn tortillas and make sure the spice blend and creamy sauce are certified gluten-free.
What to serve with it
Serve with a bright side salad, lime wedges, or a spoonful of black beans to balance the rich, cheesy filling. For extra freshness, add pico de gallo, sliced avocado, or a simple corn salad.
