Swaps and substitutions

For a lighter or dairy-free version, swap the sour cream, smoky red pepper crema, and cheese for unsweetened plant-based alternatives. To avoid wheat or gluten, use gluten-free pasta, and for beef-free meals, replace the ground beef with seasoned lentils or a plant-based crumble.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad, charred corn, or warm tortillas to round out the Tex-Mex flavors. It also works well with a simple cucumber-lime side or roasted vegetables for extra freshness.
