I’ve been on a mission to cut my grocery bill in half by coming up with nutritious recipes that cost only a few dollars to make. And I’m proud to say that I’ve got another healthy $10 recipe for you.

These Easy Veggie Quesadillas are packed with a nutritious combination of tomatoes, green chiles, black beans and fresh cilantro. To save money, I used canned vegetables, which are a budget-friendly way to provide your family with some essential nutrients. You can also choose to save a little extra money by making your own taco seasoning with ingredients that you already have on hand.

What you’ll need to make this recipe:

• 1 pack of flour tortillas – $2.78.
• 1 pack of shredded fiesta blend cheese or Colby Jack cheese – $2.22.
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles – $1.76.
• 1 can of black beans – 78 cents.
• 1 can of whole-kernel corn – 50 cents.
• fresh cilantro – 88 cents.
• taco seasoning – 42 cents.
• salt and pepper.

Total: $10.27 (including tax)
