Yesterday’s meal
I should really have posted my first cheap meal yesterday, but I was so hungry that I ate it before I could find my camera. After a long day of cleaning, me and my girlfriend had some delicious pork steak with fries and salad.
I bought a large pack of frozen pork steaks (cheaper than fresh ones), and picked out a couple of them. The French fries was also of the cheaper sort, and we used half a package. The salad was leftovers from Monday, when we ate taco. Really simple and tasty. Took about 40 minutes to make, mostly because of the fries.
If you wonder what I ate from Monday to yesterday, I was in Trondheim picking up the rest of my stuff, and ate with my family.
Today’s meal: Chicken wraps
Chicken wrap
This was also a fast, cheap and easy meal. I still had leftovers from the taco, so I just bought some ground chicken meat. I used the taco wraps, lettuce, pepper, maize, garlic dressing and cheese I already had. Short recipe:
Ingredients
- Ground chicken meat
- Iceberg lettuce
- Onion
- Red pepper
- Maize
- Garlic dressing
- Taco wraps
- Cheese
Fry the ground chicken meat until it is brown. While you fry the chicken, lay the wraps on plates, and cut the vegetables and distribute evenly on the wraps. Add some garlic dressing and cheese topping on top. When the chicken meat is ready, just ad it to the wraps, wrap them and eat.
Of course you can add or remove ingredients at will. Cucumber and carrots are great options.
Estimated time: 15-20 minutes.
Comments
I know this is not the cheapest meal you can make, but if you have lots of vegetable leftovers, this is a great way to use it. The ground chicken meat was really cheap, and I used only 1/3 of a 400g package for 1 person. The rest i froze for later. It is also easy and fast to make, and it tastes good. I would love to get comments and suggestions on the recipe.
Tomorrow I will probably make something out of only leftovers, but next week I will try to get some more meals up here. Maybe something with fish or other seafood.
