Whole grain flour adds fiber and nutrients.

cheese

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

shredded beef

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Grilled chicken is leaner and canned tuna is often less expensive.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and adds protein.

Mix corn flour, water, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a disc.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter until melted.

Cook each disc for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Alternatively, grill the discs on a preheated grill for 5-6 minutes on each side.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing open.

Fill with desired ingredients like cheese, meats, or vegetables.

Serve warm with avocado and sour cream on the side.
