🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, swap the beef for crumbled tofu, lentils, or extra beans, since the rice and bean base already carries the bowl well. To avoid dairy, use a plain unsweetened yogurt or a dairy-free sour cream alternative in place of the crema.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm tortilla chips and a bright salsa for extra crunch and a more Tex-Mex feel. A simple avocado salad or grilled corn rounds out the bowl and adds freshness without weighing it down.
