bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

plantains

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: bananas

Sweet potatoes are nutritious and similar in texture.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds flavor and is dairy-free.

cassava flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Almond flour is lower in carbs but may not be gluten-free.

Place the skillet over medium-low heat and fry bacon.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Add plantains and cook until light golden.

Add onions and fry until soft.

Add another tablespoon of butter.

Sprinkle Yuca or manioc flour generously and stir gently until the flour absorbs all the fat, about 3 to 5 minutes.
