The story behind this recipe
From today on my blog, you will find a category of recipes that you can cook on a low budget - 20 lei or even less. In "Eat well, spend less" I will publish simple, healthy, and tasty recipes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Many people complain that they want to eat healthy, but it is expensive, difficult to make, and takes time. Even if it were a bit more expensive, a proper diet is a priority!! Buy smartly: ✓Give up or reduce meals containing red meat or chicken, especially if you don't know their origin!! It costs a lot and they are heavier. ✓Eat seasonal vegetables and fruits because they are full of vitamins and much more accessible!! ✓Don't skimp on quality - an extra virgin olive oil, for example, is worth every penny, and 1 liter will last you a month. My goal is to demonstrate to you that it is possible to pay less for food, especially if we use seasonal ingredients that also taste better. The first recipe is Vegetal Taco. If you love street food, you won't be able to resist the recipe I'm proposing today. A good taco can be cooked by you at home. Of course, it doesn't take 5 minutes to be ready, but it is worth the effort. With little money, 15.8 lei to be exact, and ingredients chosen to my taste, I will show you how to prepare tacos from start to finish. Initially, I calculated for 2 servings, but 3 people will be able to eat from the 6 shells. For the Shell you need: 1 cup of wheat flour, 1/2 cup of corn flour, 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of oil, salt (these ingredients cost at most 1 leu). We mix everything until we get a dough with the consistency of modeling clay. We form balls of 50 grams each and then, with a rolling pin, we roll them out until we get a mini pancake in shape and thickness. Put each Shell on a rack, as you see in the image, and put it in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees. Now we take care of the filling, where I think there are at least 4 million combinations. I chose: Cheddar cheese 100 grams (7 lei), Cherry tomatoes 6 pieces (2 lei), Avocado 1 piece (4 lei), Fresh chili pepper 1 piece (0.5 lei), Red beans 1 can (2 lei), Red onion 1 piece (0.3 lei), Parsley almost free 😅, Optional Sriracha sauce. Bon appétit!!! ## Source: Facebook (2020-05-01) Today I suggest a healthy meal option, very #lowbuget 💸 For 3 people I spent 20 lei.
