Honduran Tacos Recipe

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: canned lentils

Ground turkey is leaner, while lentils are cost-effective and plant-based.

corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flour tortillas

Whole wheat offers more fiber, while flour tortillas can be less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

salsa

🥗Healthier: fresh pico de gallo

💰Cheaper: store-bought salsa

Pico de gallo is fresher and lower in preservatives.

Prepare the chimol/pico de gallo by chopping tomato, onion, and jalapeno (or bell pepper) and mixing with lime juice, salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.

In a separate bowl, mix the ingredients for the pink sauce: mayo, ketchup, hot sauce, white vinegar, and a dash of sugar.

In a skillet, warm the corn tortillas until pliable.

Assemble the tacos by placing shredded chicken on each tortilla, adding chimol/pico de gallo, shredded cabbage, and cheese on top.

Drizzle with the pink sauce before serving.
