Cómo Preparar Las Garnachas Guatemaltecas

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: textured vegetable protein

Ground turkey is leaner, while TVP is a budget-friendly protein alternative.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt offers similar creaminess with fewer calories.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: sliced cucumbers

Mashed peas provide creaminess, while cucumbers add freshness at a lower cost.

refried beans

🥗Healthier: black bean puree

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Black bean puree is nutritious and canned beans save time.

Fry corn tortillas in hot oil until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Remove tortillas and drain on paper towels.

In the same oil, cook ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Spread refried beans over each tortilla, then top with cooked beef mixture.

Add shredded cabbage, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro on top.

Drizzle with sour cream and hot sauce to taste.

Garnish with sliced avocado and lime wedges before serving.
