healthy and cheap sandwich recipes image
I have class from 11:30 AM - 6:30 PM with just a few 5-15 minute breaks. I need some HEALTHY and CHEAP lunches that I can make ahead of time and eat fairly quickly. I stress healthy and cheap because I'm a college student on a very limited budget and I don't want to eat junk food every day. I'm also tired of the same old sandwich and wrap ideas because eating the same thing every day gets pretty boring.

Hi Jasmine, Wish I knew what you've been talking in your lunch or what your tastes are.
Shredded veggies with different kinds of meat and different spices with olive oil or different salad dressings are basic idea to expand on. You can add fruit into a chopped chicken salad.
In the recipe below, you don't have to use chicken breast and grill but you can use the ingredient ideas with chicken. You don't have to use all the ingredients either.
Caribbean Style Chicken Salad (You can put this in a pita, wrap or on a roll also.)
Ingredients
* 1/4 cup lime juice
* 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 2 tablespoons honey
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
* 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
* 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
* 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
* 1/2 jicama, sliced into matchsticks
* 1/2 head green leaf lettuce, rinsed and torn
Directions
1. Whisk together lime juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper until blended. Slowly whisk in olive oil until incorporated. Mix half of this dressing with the chicken breasts, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Refrigerate the remaining dressing for later use.
2. Heat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
3. Grill chicken breasts until no longer pink, about 6 minutes per side. Set aside and allow to cool while proceeding with recipe. Toss together mango, black beans, bell pepper, and jicama in a large bowl with reserved dressing. Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with salad.
4. To serve, line a serving bowl with the green leaf lettuce and mound the chicken salad into the middle.
