Good eats for a week, for less than $ 10.00

Went to the Dollar Store, and got a 30-pack of corn tortillas, for $1.00. Got two cans of clams, two cans of chicken, all for $5.00. Got one box of Zatarains' rice and beans, another $1.25. And with tomatoes and banana pepper chilis from the garden, made a delicious meal (last night I ate only 8 clam tacos!!), with leftovers again for tonight!

In a saucepan, boil 3/4 C. water, and add one-half the Zatarains rice/beans mix, keeping it thicker than usual.
Stir, and cover, according to directions for 20 minutes.

In a small frypan, sautee the clams and chicken in olive oil. Add some purple onion if you like, here.

Make a homemade salsa, of the well chopped tomatoes and pepper-chilis outta the garden. I like lotsa black pepper on this, but knock yerselves out! Less is more, more or less.

Warm well the tortillas 0ver an open flame for authentic flavor, then pile on the ingredients.

JUST FANTASTIC! CHEAP TOO. SLEEP WELL TONIGHT.
