cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than shrimp.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with less fat.

avocado

💰Cheaper: mashed peas

Mashed peas can mimic the creaminess of avocado.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and bell peppers; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add shrimp to the skillet; cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove shrimp mixture from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice.

Heat a separate skillet over medium heat and place a tortilla in it.

Sprinkle cheese on one half of the tortilla, then add a portion of the shrimp mixture.

Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling; cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Serve hot with sour cream, avocado, and jalapeños on the side.
