Key Ingredients

When selecting ingredients for this recipe, make sure to choose organic, non-GMO options for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.

For the potatoes, look for high-quality, disease-resistant varieties like Russet or Yukon Gold. For the avocados, choose ripe, firm fruit with a slightly soft stem.

For the spices, consider using freshly ground cumin and smoked paprika for the best flavor. If you can’t find reduced-fat shredded cheese, look for low-fat or part-skim options as a substitute.
