Since I prepared this tequeños recipe, everyone who tries it asks me for the recipe!

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal is a plant-based alternative.

Put 3 cups of wheat flour in a bowl.

Add 1 tbsp of baking powder, 1 tbsp of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the bowl and mix the ingredients very well.

Add 1 egg and 0.5 cup of milk to the mixture and keep mixing.

Add 2 tbsp of butter to the mixture and knead everything very well.

Remove the dough from the bowl and knead on a table with wheat flour until covered completely.

Transfer the kneaded dough to a large bowl and seal it with plastic wrap to let it rest until it grows in size.

After resting, remove the dough from the large bowl and place it on a table with wheat flour.

Stretch the dough very well with a rolling pin.

Slice the dough into a square shape, trimming the excess edges.

Slice the dough into several long strips.

Slice 500 g of mozzarella into several long pieces.

Take one piece of mozzarella and wrap a strip of dough tightly around it.

Place the wrapped mozzarella in a pan with hot oil.

Repeat the wrapping process with the other pieces of mozzarella.

Turn the tequeños to cook both sides.

Remove the tequeños from the pan and place them on a plate with paper towel to absorb the remaining oil.

Serve with ketchup or sauce of your choice.
