ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt is higher in protein and lower in fat.

Combine 2 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder in a mixer.

Mix the dry ingredients until incorporated.

Add 1 cup of warm water and mix to form a dough, adding more water if necessary until the dough is not sticking to the bowl.

Let the dough sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface and separate it into six equal pieces, forming little balls.

Flatten each ball into a disc about 6 to 7 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.

Heat a pan with about 2.5 to 3 inches of peanut oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fry each disc in the hot oil for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown, being careful to lay the dough away from you into the oil.

Drain the fried bread on a paper towel-lined bowl, stacking them vertically to remove excess oil.

Assemble the tacos by spreading refried beans on the fried bread, adding taco meat, shredded cheese, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and taco sauce.
