💰Cheaper: processed cheese

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

corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flour tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrients.

avocado

💰Cheaper: cucumber

Mashed peas provide creaminess at a lower cost.

Marinate chicken breast with chipotle peppers, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

In the same skillet, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Warm corn tortillas in a separate pan or directly over a flame until pliable.

Assemble tacos by placing sliced chicken on tortillas.

Top with sautéed onion and garlic mixture, diced avocado, and shredded lettuce.

Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
