Chicken is leaner and ground turkey is often less expensive.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option with a cheesy flavor.

tortilla chips

🥗Healthier: baked pita chips

💰Cheaper: homemade tortilla chips

Baked pita chips are lower in fat, and homemade chips can save money.

Prepare homemade taco seasoning or use store-bought.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add ground beef.

Break up the beef and season with salt, cooking until mostly browned.

Add garlic and onions to the beef, cooking until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the homemade taco seasoning and sweat it out with the beef.

Add tomatoes to the mixture and lower the heat, allowing it to break down.

If more sauce is desired, add water and let it cook down for 1 to 5 minutes.

Prepare toppings: black beans (canned or homemade), Mexican blend cheese, fresh cilantro, fresh avocado, and lettuce.
