Question by Christian: What low-budget recipes/meal ideas do you have?
I’m on limited income, and get $ 150 in food stamps. I’m looking for tasty recipes/meal ideas that could have the following criteria: few ingredients, cheap ingredients, recipes that can go a long way, recipes that freeze well, vegetarian/healthy, easy to make, etc. Please list all ingredients and directions. Thank you.

“This was my husbands favorite breakfast growing up in a Mexican household. Now we make it all times of day and even our kids always ask for seconds. Very simple, inexpensive, and quick to make. I sometimes add hot pepper sauce, or ingredients you would like in a omelet, but my husband prefers it the traditional way.”
