Claudia Bolles How to Make Salbutes

corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flour tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber, while flour tortillas are often less expensive.

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Grilled chicken is leaner, while canned chicken is budget-friendly.

refried beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Black beans are nutritious, while pinto beans are often cheaper.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Mashed peas provide creaminess, while sour cream is a cost-effective substitute.

Start by mixing flour, corn flour, a little bit of salt, and water to form a nice dough.

Take a piece of masa and form it into golf ball-sized balls.

Press the masa balls to form tortillas using plastic sheets to prevent sticking.

Fry the tortillas in hot oil, placing them slowly to avoid splashing.

Fry 2 or 3 tortillas at a time, turning them to cook both sides until golden brown.

Remove the tortillas using two spoons and place them in a colander to drain excess oil.

Assemble the salbutes by taking three tortillas and adding cabbage, chicken, red onions, avocado, tomatoes, carrots, and chili pepper on top.

Serve with green sauce on the side for guests to add as desired.
