Swaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, skip the cheese and use an extra spoonful of the chipotle lime sauce, since the recipe already leans creamy. For gluten-free eating, replace the flour tortillas with certified gluten-free tostadas or wraps; for vegetarian meals, swap the chicken for more black beans or seasoned mushrooms.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, extra lime wedges, or a simple fruit side to balance the smoky, savory flavors. A chilled lager, agua fresca, or sparkling water with citrus also fits well with the crunchy tostada texture.
