⚠️Allergens:
🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free eating, skip the sour cream and cheese or use plant-based versions; for a vegan plate, that swap works well alongside the meatless filling. For gluten-free needs, choose gluten-free tortillas, and avoid the stock or spice blends if they contain wheat-derived ingredients.
What to serve with it
Serve with black beans, a bright slaw, or simple corn on the side to round out the tacos without overshadowing the smoky filling. A chilled agua fresca or light beer also fits the lively, zesty flavors.
