Supper on-the-cheap

 
Going out to eat is fun and adventurous but it can also be expensive.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I get really sick of cooking. 

The day to day monotony of it sometimes wears on my nerves.

Last night, I would like to have gone out to dinner but the thought of spending a lot of money just to have someone else cook for us was unappealing.

 I started looking in the refrigerator and on the counter in the kitchen.

It was time to do some thrifty (and fast) cooking.

First of all, I had some leftover hamburger meat so that got lightly fried. Added a half a package of low sodium taco seasoning.



Then, I fried two tortillas in vegetable oil until crisp  and drained them on paper towels.

Next, I cut up a couple dozen grape tomatoes and sprinkled them with onion salt before slicing up two avocados that sat on the counter.

Then I grated some cheddar cheese.

Piled the hamburger meat, tomatoes, romaine lettuce leaves, cheese and avocado slices on top of the crispy tortillas and gave a dollup of light cream.



Dinner was pretty tasty, filling and cheap, having used ingredients that were already on hand.

Today we are joining Linda at A La Carte and Diann at The Thrifty Groove for Thrifty Things Friday.
