I love how simple and frugal this recipe is and yet very tasty. Serve it with hard tacos or tostadas and your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, salsa, guacamole, or beans! Here's the cost breakdown (from our local Aldi).
Chicken breast (3 pcs) $2 - I bought a whole tray of chicken breast of $12. I used the other chicken breast for a crockpot chicken teriyaki.
Diced Tomatoes .79 cents
Taco seasoning .99 cents - You can use my Homemade Taco Seasoning
Shredded Cheese 2.79
Hard Taco shells $2
Shredded lettuce $1.99
TOTAL: $10.56
We are a family four, it will be $2.64 per meal. We also had leftovers which my husband packed for lunch the next day. Depending on your desired topping, you can still make this meal cheap.
