Substitutions

Part 1

Ground beef — If you’re one of those people who prefer the original version, feel free to substitute ground lamb.

Sour cream — If you’re short on sour cream, you can simply swap cream cheese.

Substitutions

Part 2

All-purpose flour — No all-purpose flour? No problem! Bread flour has a much higher protein content.

Beef stock — Though the beef stock has a more dominant flavor, the chicken stock will do the job as well.

Substitutions

Part 3

Crushed tomatoes — Replace them with tomato puree. If you have time and energy for it, you can also use fresh tomatoes.

Cooking oil — Coconut oil can be a good choice. Canola oil would also do the job.

Gluten-free — Your options instead of flour range from buckwheat flour, almond flour, chickpea flour, and many more.

Dairy-free — We’ll be swiftly replacing butter, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.
