🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

Grilled chicken is leaner, while beans provide protein at a lower cost.

Prepare the grill or oven for high heat.

Lightly brush the corn tortillas with cooking oil on both sides.

Place the tortillas on the grill or in the oven until slightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes.

Spread a layer of refried beans evenly over each tortilla.

Sprinkle a generous amount of Oaxacan cheese on top of the beans.

Add your choice of cooked meat over the cheese.

Top with sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.

Add sliced jalapeños for heat, if desired.

Drizzle with salsa and a squeeze of lime juice.

Season with salt to taste.

Remove from heat when cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.

Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
