flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat offers more fiber, while corn tortillas are often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and adds creaminess.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: bell pepper

💰Cheaper: banana pepper

Bell pepper offers sweetness without the heat.

Boil water in a pot and add chicken breasts, half a green pepper, half an onion, and salt.

Once boiling, skim off impurities from the water.

Cook chicken until done, then remove and shred with two forks.

Prepare chipotle salsa by rehydrating dried chiles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes.

Blend rehydrated chiles, half an onion, garlic, roma tomatoes, salt, pepper, cumin, adobo seasoning, and reserved water until smooth.

Strain the blended mixture to remove chunks and seeds, keeping only the liquid.

Heat olive oil in a pan and add the strained chipotle salsa, then stir in shredded chicken.

Dip flour tortillas in the sauce, then place in a heated pan.

Add pepper jack cheese and chipotle chicken to one half of the tortilla, fold it, and cook until golden and cheese is melted.
