Ingredients

1 onion, sliced

1×440g and 1×220g tin tuna in spring water, drained

1 400g tin chopped tomatoes

salt, pepper, chilli powder, cumin to taste

8 burritos

50g or so of tasty cheese, grated

sour cream, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C
  2. Sauté onion in oil in a fry pan over medium heat until translucent
  3. Add the tuna and tomatoes. Season with the salt pepper, cumin and chilli to taste
  4. Bring to the boil and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated
  5. Divide the mixture between the burritos, spooning it down the centre and wrapping the burritos
  6. Place in an ovenproof dish, sprinkle cheese on top and bake until the cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Serve with the sour cream and a side salad.

I make this for two and leave out the smaller tin of tuna. This make six burritos, which is more than enough for the two of us. You could probably substitute the tomatoes and seasonings with a jar of salsa, but this will make it more expensive.

I priced it out. The tuna, burritos, cheese and sour cream are home brand. The tomatoes aren’t. A home brand tin is $0.75, but the quality is dreadful. For 6 burritos:

Tuna $1.89
Tomatoes $1.09
Onion $0.19
Packaged Burritos x 6 $1.46
Cheese $0.38
Sour cream (1/3 a pk) $0.43
Seasoning $0.15
Total Cost $5.59
