🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free or vegan needs, replace the creamy topping with a plant-based crema and use roasted cauliflower, black beans, or tofu in place of the chicken. If you avoid rice, swap in cauliflower rice or quinoa; keep the pineapple, herbs, and citrus for freshness.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm tortilla chips and a simple leafy salad to balance the bowl's bright, savory flavors. Extra lime wedges, avocado slices, or black beans make easy add-ons that fit the Tex-Mex profile.
