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.
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.
