Swaps and substitutions

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for seasoned tofu, tempeh, or black beans; for dairy-free, use a creamy plant-based alternative in place of the smoky crema. If soy is a concern, choose a soy-free tofu or bean option and use a soy-free seasoning blend.

What to serve with it

Serve with warm tortillas, extra citrus wedges, or a crisp green salad to balance the smoky heat and make the bowls feel more complete. A simple black bean side or avocado slices also works well with the bright, savory flavors.
