I don’t think I’ve ever mixed cauliflower with anything before. That’s an interesting choice…I may have to try it! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thanks for sharing, Mrs. Grumby! As you know, I love anything that resembles Chipotle…so I will have to give this recipe a try. I’ll bookmark it for later 🙂

By coincidence, last night I made a veg option of the above by cooking my white rice with half a head of chopped cauliflower. The cauliflower was from my partner’s parents so I think the dish was also under $2. Thanks for sharing Zach! Enjoy those leftovers today, as will I! ?

Cook 1 pound ground beef with chopped onion and taco seasoning. Mix with 2 cans of black beans (strained & rinsed) & 1 -2 cups brown rice. (These additions are great for flavor & texture. They also greatly cut cost per serving!)

Freeze in serving size containers, heat up, and serve over bed of spinach. Add shredded sharp cheddar cheese, chopped bell pepper, shredded carrot, avocado, or whatever suits your fancy.

A Chipotle-esque meal for home? ;o)

That’s a great idea…I actually could use some extra veggies in my diet haha. Thanks for the suggestion, Kim!

Occasionally I do buy chicken in larger quantities to reduce the price even further. Sometimes it’s just more convenient to get the small cans though. And I love that 4-step formula, I’ll have to keep that in mind for future meals. That does seem to be a good 4-step formula to follow. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thanks for the tip, Kirk! I’ll definitely give that a try.
