ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: textured vegetable protein

Ground turkey is leaner, while TVP is more economical and plant-based.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flour tortillas

Whole wheat offers more fiber, while flour tortillas are often less expensive.

tomato sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato puree

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Homemade puree is fresher, and canned tomatoes are often more affordable.

Prepare the filling by cooking ground beef with chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper until browned.

Add tomato sauce and spices to the beef mixture, stirring until combined and heated through.

In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat and fry corn tortillas until soft.

Place a spoonful of the beef filling on each tortilla and roll them up tightly.

Arrange the rolled tortillas in a baking dish, seam side down.

Top the tortillas with additional tomato sauce and sprinkle cheese over them.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes.

While baking, prepare the toppings by shredding cabbage and carrots, and chopping hard-boiled eggs.

Once baked, remove enchiladas from the oven and top with cabbage, carrots, eggs, avocado slices, and cilantro.

Serve with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
