nopales

Zucchini is lower in calories, while cabbage is often more affordable.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt is healthier and provides similar creaminess.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa verde

💰Cheaper: homemade salsa

Salsa verde is often fresher and can be made at home easily.

Hydrate guajillo chiles by removing the stem and seeds, then heat for a minute or two.

Bring water to a boil and add 1 garlic clove and 1 pound of ripe Roma tomatoes.

Toast the chiles, then add them to the boiling water.

Add a couple of tablespoons of oil to the pot.

Cook the nopales and potatoes in the pot, sprinkling with salt and coarsely ground black pepper.

Puree the hydrated chiles, tomatoes, and garlic until smooth, adding half a teaspoon of salt.

Pour the sauce into a saucepan and let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes before adding it to the potato and nopalitos mixture.

Heat the tortillas on a comal.

Assemble the tacos by adding the potato-nopalito mix to the tortilla, then top with a sunny side up Eggland’s Best egg and queso fresco.
