I am pretty sure kids don't really care that they have the same type of meal right after another, because Mikel chose to make bean burritos for lunch. He grilled the burritos like a quesadilla, so we decided to call it a 'panini.' Yes, we pressed it down to make it official, even though we have no panini press.
He roasted some corn on the griddle, added that to the refried beans he made, some Daiya cheese and a bit of sour cream and avocado and the meal was complete. I, however, wanted to make a sauce for it and even Mikel liked it. I just rehydrated some 2 chilis and blended them with some almond milk, a few cashews, a dash of salt and sugar, strained it and heated it to meld the flavors. Oh my! The humble burrito, as fabulous as Mikel made it, was flown to even more glorious heights.
Cost Breakdown:
tortilla: $2
beans: $4corn: $1
avocado: $3
sauce: $1.50
Daiya: $2
Total to make 10 burritos:
$13.50
What a glorious lunch! The sauce looks really fantastic and the cost is amazing! I love your posts, they really do get people to think outside the box!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sweetums. I am glad you are enjoying it! I think it was the avocado that really cost the most here, but healthy fat is important for the kids, and luckily the girls love avocado.
