Here's a dairy-free breakfast casserole that's going to turn heads. The Mexican-inspired breakfast dish combines tomatoes and chipotle chiles to create an irresistible sauce for the tortillas, shredded chicken, and eggs.

Cajun-seasoned shrimp is the star of this dairy-free casserole recipe. The best part is that this is a one-skillet meal (make sure it's oven-safe), meaning you don't have to mess a lot of pans to get dinner on the table. The corn bread dumplings call for a bit of milk, but nondairy milk will do the trick.
