🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the Monterey Jack for a plant-based melting cheese or skip it altogether and finish with extra scallions. If you prefer a lighter filling, use lean turkey instead of the ground beef, and quinoa can be replaced with rice if needed.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, lime wedges, and warm tortilla chips to round out the Southwestern flavors. A simple avocado salsa or sour cream on the side also adds freshness and extra richness.
