1

In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 3 tbsp cornstarch, 4 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 egg, and 2 tbsp melted butter. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Flip a muffin tray over and tuck 4 corn tortillas into the spaces. Bake at 400°F for 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix 2 oz green cabbage, 2 oz red cabbage, 2 tbsp whole milk, 1 tbsp sour cream, and 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt.
