COCONUT AMINOS:

  • We use coconut aminos, which will provide a sweet taste and make this dish mildly flavorful. As a replacement, we can use liquid aminos, soy sauce, or tamari.

GREEK YOGURT:

  • You can use Greek yogurt, as it will deliver a silky texture and acidity. We can switch it out with cream cheese, sour cream, or coconut cream.

CHIPOTLE SAUCE:
