Another twist on taco's is wraps, i use the buritto/tortilla breads.  I make some chicken strips out of a breast (probably a double would be loads) and marinate briefy in honey, soy, garlic - whatever you fancy really - and then pan fry.  Stuff the wraps with the chicken, lettuce, tomato, grated carrot, cheese....anything goes, whatever you guys like.

I was also thinking of things like Quiche and a salad, beef mince pie with a mash potato topping (good to hide grated veges in!), maybe meat loaf or home made pizza......pizza bases are really easy to make and i can give you Jamie Oliver's recipe which is really good.  The proving time is about 40 mins but you can chop the toppings and grate the cheese in the meantime and once that is done it is 10 mins away!

Yes tacos is cheap and very nutritional. We make our own taco sauce paste that goes in with the mince i can give you the recipe if you like just spices really and we just buy the taco shells and your meat of course and some lettuce, carrott, tomato and cheese and whatever else you would like in them :) Stir frys are another thing that doesnt cost much and gets rid of left over vegies almost going off.
