🥛Milk🌰SesameSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free bowl, skip the cheese and smoky crema or use plant-based versions; the soup stays hearty from the beef and beans. For a vegetarian option, replace the beef with more beans or a meat substitute and keep the same bold, Tex-Mex flavor.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm cornbread, a simple green salad, or extra tortilla chips for scooping. A dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lime on the side can cool the spice and brighten the bowl.
