for those living on a tight budget, i definitely have to recommend making tuna tacos. i’ve been doing it a lot over the past few weeks. it takes less than 10 minutes to make and has very little cleanup. basically, heat up (medium to low) a large nonstick pan, take a can of tuna, and quarter it. then lay down a tortilla, sprinkle cheese one half, and put the tuna on the other side. i also like to put some canned corn and sometimes some dressing. when the cheese starts melting, fold it up, put it to the side and start on the second one. basically, when you finish assembling one flip the previous one over. the great thing is that it tastes great and is relatively healthy, and of course, it is cheap. here’s a little breakdown:
| item | calories | cost |
|---|---|---|
| 4 corn tortillas | 260 | $0.04-$0.06 |
| 1 can of chunk light tuna | 150 | $0.33-$0.59 |
| 1/2 can of corn | 140 | $0.30 |
| 1/4 cup of shredded cheese | 100 | $0.33 |
| 2 tbsp fat free honey dijon | 50 | $0.20 |
not bad for a buck and change.
