🥗Healthier: serrano

💰Cheaper: green bell pepper

Serrano offers similar heat with fewer calories, while green bell pepper is milder and more affordable.

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: spinach

Parsley provides a fresh taste, while spinach adds nutrients at a lower cost.

Finely chop 3 tomatoes, removing the seeds.

Finely chop 1 onion.

Crush and chop 1 tablespoon of garlic.

Take 10-12 mint leaves and tear them by hand.

Add 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro.

Chop 1 green chili and 1 red chili.

Transfer all the chopped ingredients into a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar (or white sugar if brown sugar is unavailable).

Add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and mix everything well to prepare the salsa.

To make the nachos, combine 1 cup of corn flour with 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour in a bowl.

Add salt to taste and mix well.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil and mix again.

Gradually add water to form a dough that is slightly hard, not too soft.

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, covered.

After 10 minutes, roll out the dough on a floured surface.

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes for nachos.

Prick the nachos with a fork to prevent them from puffing up while frying.

Heat oil in a pot for frying the nachos.

Check if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough; it should float to the top.

Fry the nachos on medium flame until they are crispy and golden brown, flipping them occasionally.

Remove the fried nachos and drain excess oil on a kitchen towel.
