🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the sour cream and cheese for plant-based alternatives or skip them and add more salsa for creaminess. If you avoid chicken, use seasoned black beans, tofu, or roasted vegetables in the same bowl.
What to serve with it
Serve with crisp tortilla chips and a simple avocado salad to echo the Tex-Mex flavors without weighing it down. A citrusy slaw or extra lime wedges also add freshness and balance the spice.
