sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: cotija cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

tortilla chips

🥗Healthier: baked tortilla chips

💰Cheaper: homemade tortilla chips

Homemade chips can be made from corn tortillas at a lower cost.

red salsa

🥗Healthier: fresh tomato salsa

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes can be a more affordable option for making salsa.

Put tortillas in the microwave for 2 minutes, then flip and microwave for another 2 minutes.

Check the tortillas; they should break easily after microwaving.

In a pan, add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of chili sauce, mix well, and bring to a boil.

After boiling for 3-4 minutes, reduce heat to medium and add the tortilla chips.

Add cooked chicken breast (with garlic and salt) to the pan.

Replace sour cream with plain yogurt or Greek yogurt.

Add a mix of Mexican cheese and chopped onion to the pan.

Turn heat to low and let the cheese melt for about 3 minutes.

Serve the chilaquiles with a side salad.
