Chicken & Chickpea Taco’s This one utilises a can of chickpeas to make the meal go further & be more filling. Total cost of this meal was $16.50 It could be cheaper again by using salads you might already have at home, or by making it into a salad bowl instead, or mixing in rice to bulk it up even more! If you have fussy ones, they won’t know there is any extra veg in it, my husband & son didn’t notice 🤭 Ingredients: 500g Chicken Mince 1 x can chickpeas (rinsed) 1 x pkt taco/fajita seasoning 1 x jar salsa (3 x tbspn for chickpeas) 1 x pkt wraps/taco’s 1 x cup red onion diced 1 x cup can corn kernels 1 x cup cucumber Lettuce/Baby spinach leaves Method: Rinse your chickpeas & add to a blender Add in 3 x tbspn salsa Blend until combined into a paste In a pan, add chicken mince & brown Add in taco seasoning packet Fill packet with water & add Combine all ingredients & mix in well Add in remaining salsa & mix in Allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes on low Prep your salad Serve up! #ChickenMince #TacoTuesday #Chickpeas #BudgetMeal #Dinner #lunch #mealprep

Here’s my little shopping haul from this afternoon for dinner tonight thru to next Friday. I’ve been having optifast shakes for lunch to prep for my surgery in June, so Joe’s been doing that for the past week with me 😊 Now, i know there are a lot bigger families than mine that require a lot more food than we do, but I am the eldest of 4 kids so I understand & appreciate how expensive it is to feed a family of 6. Stay tuned for this week on some dinner ideas. Love ya! #Groceries #Shopping #Food #GroceryShopping #FoodShopping #Aldi
