Cucumber adds freshness, while peas are cost-effective.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Char 2 pounds of virtuoso tomatoes in a dry cast iron pan in a super hot oven until charred.

Char 2-3 gusto peppers in the same pan until charred on all sides.

Prepare 6 cloves of garlic by bashing, mincing, or dicing them.

In a medium-sized pot, heat a little canola oil and add chopped white onion to sauté with salt.

Once the onions are slightly cooked and the garlic is warmed through, add the charred tomatoes.

Cook until the tomatoes are still chunky and have some texture, not totally mushy.

Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until desired consistency is reached.

Serve the soup garnished with crumbled queso fresco cheese, diced avocado, and crispy white corn tortillas.
