Quesadillas for Two
one can of black beans $0.89 (at Target...$1.10 at Publix)
2 tortillas from pk of 10 $0.23
1/2 bag of Amish cheese $1.15
1/2 an onion $0.30 (freeze the rest chopped and use later)
Total: $2.57 ($1.29 per person)
For super awesome quesadillas, spend a little more and buy organic black beans and tortillas. The onion was local, so that's a plus. And the Amish cheese is Amish, so it's free of mystery substances. If you wanted to add meat, buying kosher meat is a good idea and it's relatively easy to find.
Sidenote: Moe's John Coctostan quesadilla is pretty much identical to this one, but usually has meat on it. That quesadilla costs about $5 or $6 and has 515 calories and 24 grams of fat with no meat on it. And it contains 47% of your daily sodium value. !!!!! Mine has about 380 calories. I didn't calculate the other parts, but no wonder we're all fat and have high blood pressure. Jeez. Cook it at home, people. Save your money and your health.
Cooking dry beans and making your own flour tortillas are additional ways to save money and keep the junk out of the food.
