🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, swap the sour cream for a plain plant-based yogurt or omit it and add more avocado for creaminess. For gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of panko; the rest of the dish is easy to keep wheat-free.
What to serve with it
Serve with extra lime wedges and a simple corn salad or roasted sweet potatoes to round out the smoky, spicy flavors. A crisp green side or tortilla chips also works well for a more filling plate.
