BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade BBQ sauce

Homemade BBQ sauce can be lower in sugar and preservatives.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still melting well.

flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrients.

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: grilled tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Tofu offers a plant-based option with lower cost.

2

Pan-sear the chicken breast for about 1.5 minutes on each side until cooked through.

3

Add BBQ sauce to the cooked chicken and mix well.

4

In the same skillet, add diced red peppers, green peppers, tomatoes, and red onion; sauté until softened.

5

Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Add the BBQ chicken mixture and sautéed vegetables on one half of the tortilla.

Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape; cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
