corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber while chips offer convenience.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while beans are economical.

cheese

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

Cook chicken breasts until done, then shred them.

In a large pot, heat olive oil and add sliced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and grilled green pepper.

Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Stir in cumin, black pepper, and salt to taste.

Add shredded chicken to the pot and simmer for a few more minutes.

Cut corn tortillas into strips and fry in vegetable/canola oil until crispy.
