My $3 per day lunch week 2

Fajita chicken with rice and tomatoes.

We're starting with the crock pot again. Add some water.

Add some fajita seasoning these little guys run about $1

Add chicken and rest of fajita seasoning. Put in less water than me. Just enough to cover a little can be sticking out. This is again $1.99 per lb chicken. 2lbs.
I chose chicken breast because it is the leanest cut

Mix up fajita seasoning

Add in any other spices and some vegetables. I added tomatoes and some onion powder, you could reasonably add onions, peppers or any other fajita stuff that makes you happy.

Set it on high for 4 - 5 hours or if you want to go overnight set it on low for 8 hours.

This week in making rice of the non instant variety. A bag that will last me two weeks cost $1.18. That means per meal is around $.15

I'm making a cup of dry rice. That means add two cups water and 1 cup rice.
Edit: I've been informed a 3:2 water to Rice ratio is normal instead of my 2:1. I've also been informed that washing rice is important.
Bring it to a boil.

Once it looks like this lower the temperature. Lower it to either "low or two" cover it. Let it simmer. It will simmer for around 30 minutes which is long enough to burn off the water.

It'll look like this.

After the chicken is done. Pull it with a fork. You will notice I added too much water. I had to drain some of.

Drained off. Let it cool so you can either plate it or put it away. This is also a great time to taste it and decide if it needs additional seasoning.

After its been put away.

I like lettuce with my fajitas so I cut up some lettuce to add in after reheating. A whole head of lettuce (which can be used for a lot more is $.99)

Maybe you prefer salsa with your fajitas I got some Gusteaus errr...I mean newmans own. this is $2.12 and will last me all week if I choose to add it. (its a nice way to vary flavor, doesn't add a lot of calories or far)

Granny smith apple. $1.19 per lb so this one is around $.40. I also have a banana that I will alternate this week at $.52 a lb (around $.25 each)

Total should be a little over $11 for the week. That includes enough rice to use the next week as well and you can make between 4 (how many I make) and five lunches out of this. At between $2.75 and $2.20 a piece
