Basically it’s chili with no soup.
I make some variation of this at least once a month as this is the most “cooking” I can do when i’m depressed & energetic enough to want to eat 🙂 . My comfort meal lasts me about almost week and freezes pretty good. I get everything from ALDI <3
This week, w/ 5 month old tortillas I found in the back of a cabinet lmao! You can definitely serve this with tortilla chips, over rice, quinoa, nothing, etc…If you want more color you can also throw in some bell peppers too.
Wanna get fancy?? put it in a pan and throw that hoe in the oven with cheese over the top. GAS.
Recipe (for lack of a better word)
Ground Turkey : $4.75
Corn, black beans, chickpeas : $0.89 (tbh throw whatever bean in there)
tomatoes + green chilies: $0.99
Taco seasoning pack: $0.50
brown your meat and throw everything else in the pot. that’s it (Season the H E L L out of the turkey if you use it)

I love subbing turkey for tacos & nacho type dishes! I’d pour queso over this & eat it over rice with chips, basically Chipotle at home
Whoa great idea, thanks for the recipe!!
(EDIT) I should also say the cans are all $.89 each. So this is around $9 in north Alabama can’t see my edit button
That’ll work. I’ve done close to the same. Rice, mixed veggies, browned sausage or burger or chicken. Slap some in a big tortilla drop some cheese and sauce on it. Toss it in the microwave. Tasty filling meal in just a couple minutes.
Did much the same last night. Pulled the meat off some spareribs, dab more sauce, little cheese, spoonful of baked beans, microwave and added some BBQ sauce and lettuce and onion and rolled them up.
Heck, throw this over rice and you’ve got a taco bowl
Yum! Would also be great as stuffed potato filling or loaded fries topping. Just add sour cream and/ or cheese if you have it on hand.
