Greek yogurt offers creaminess with fewer calories.

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: homemade salsa

💰Cheaper: store-bought salsa

Homemade salsa can be made with fresh ingredients, reducing preservatives.

Wash the tomatillos and chili serranos.

Place the tomatillos and chiles on the stove, covered with aluminum foil, to heat them up.

Once the tomatillos are mushy, transfer them to a blender.

Add 2 cloves of garlic to the blender with the tomatillos and chiles.

Add 2 spoonfuls of caldo consulte (chicken flavor) to the blender.

Blend the mixture until smooth.

In a pan, drizzle a little olive oil and heat it up.

Add chopped onion to the pan and cook until translucent.

Add half a bag of chips to the pan with the cooked onion.

Pour the blended sauce over the chips in the pan.

Mix the chips with the sauce, breaking them apart as they cook.

Cook until the chips are wilted and soggy, then serve topped with crema, queso frisco, fresh onion, and eggs on the side.
