🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, swap out the creamy topping for a plain salsa or avocado, since that is the main milk-containing element. If you want a lighter protein, replace the chicken thighs with chicken breast or seasoned tofu and keep the same Tex-Mex seasoning.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm tortilla chips, a simple black bean salad, or extra lime wedges to brighten the rice and salsa. A light corn side or sliced avocado also fits the Tex-Mex flavors without overpowering the bowl.
