Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it dairy-free: Use a vegan cheese and top with dairy-free yogurt or guac.

• Add beans: Black beans or pinto beans add extra fiber and heartiness.

• Want more spice? Add chipotle powder or jalapeños to the chicken mix.

• Make it a meal: Serve with a simple side salad or cauliflower rice for balance.
