Yum! I used yogurt instead of sour cream and omitted onion and garlic to keep it Low Fodmap and it had enough flavor. Well, pepperjack and mature cheddar were the cheeses and they added flavor. I will try shredded chicken too next time mmmmm!!

This is really yummy. I taste tested it before adding the sour cream and cheese to see if I liked it dairy-free and without dairy substitutes, but felt like the cheese and sour cream really brought the flavors together. I did mine on the stovetop as I had something else cooking in the Instant Pot at the time, and had canned beans on hand to use. It worked out great.
