🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic lime soda

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

Non-alcoholic soda adds sweetness without alcohol.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt offers similar creaminess with fewer calories.

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is plant-based and lower in fat; thighs are more economical.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while canola is often cheaper.

Marinate chicken in tequila, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear.

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

In the same skillet, add sliced onion and bell peppers.

Sauté vegetables for 4-5 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Slice the cooked chicken into strips and combine with the sautéed vegetables.

Warm tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds each side.

Serve chicken and vegetables in tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and avocado.
