Challenge Recipe- Co-op Style

Well, this week I decided to go to the Eastside Co-op, since I have never shopped at it before. I was on a mission to may quesadilla's for Cinco de Mayo :p

 

I didn't use a recipe. I used my fav ingredients that I thought would taste good in a tortilla.

I used black beans, zucchini, red bell peppers, and onions (not shown).

 

I cooked the onions for a bit and then added the red pepper and zucchini.

 

I put the cheese and other ingredients on a whole wheat tortilla on the oiled pan and browned it.

 

And there you go! A tasty meal for REALLY cheap! When I went to the co-op, I noticed that the organic food there was much cheaper than the organic food at Target or Rainbow. It was also in better shape.

 

 

Cost of one serving of Quesadillas:

Red Bell Pepper $0.67

Zucchini $0.31

Beans $0.36

Tortilla $0.37

Cheese $0.63

Onion $0.25

Total: $1.96

 

For two: $5.18

 

And for dessert, baked apples! $1.24 per apple, which equals $2.48 for two.

 

For Quesadillas and baked apples for two, it cost $7.66!!!

 

I think if I did this again, I would buy ingredients for salsa and/or sour cream since I had plenty of money left over. I, also, think that this was a simple recipe and it probably would have been more difficult if I were making a more elaborate recipe.
