No pie, no pics, but still pretty awesome.

Tonight’s dinner: chicken quesadillas. I didn’t take pictures, because everyone knows what a quesadilla looks like. And although a quesadilla is round before you cut it into wedges, it’s not a pie.

Tonight’s quesadillas had some excellent qualities:
1. They were easy.
2. They passed HH’s taste test.
3. They contain cheese.

The best part though (well, except for the cheese) is how cheap they were! See, tonight’s quesadillas were made exclusively with bargains. Below are the ingredients and what I paid for them:
1. Flour tortillas (.75/package)
2. Chicken breast ($3.99 for a 3lb. bag)
3. Reduced fat shredded cheddar ($1.25 for a 2c. bag)
4. Black bean side dish (.39)
5. Salsa (FREE)
6. Sour Cream (FREE)
7. Guacamole (FREE)

That means tonight’s complete dinner–quesadillas, dips, side–was about .75/serving. And there are leftovers.
