corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

Whole wheat adds fiber while flour is often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

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

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt is healthier and provides a similar creaminess.
