🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, replace the smoky crema with a plant-based crema or a spoonful of mashed avocado for creaminess. If you avoid chicken, use seasoned black beans, tofu, or roasted mushrooms; rice is already a good gluten-free base.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm tortilla chips or a crisp green salad to add crunch and freshness beside the saucy, hearty bowls. Extra lime wedges, salsa, or pickled jalapeños also fit well for a brighter, spicier finish.
