5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Black Bean and Corn Tacos with Avocado Crema
Description: Two warm flour tortillas are filled with seasoned canned black beans and fresh sweet corn cut off the cob, then drizzled with a simple avocado crema made by mashing one ripe avocado with a spoonful of sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Topped with shredded Kraft cheese and a few slices of on-the-vine tomato, this is a satisfying and colorful plant-based taco night for one.
Sale items used: Bulk Sweet Corn (1 ear), Extra Large Avocados (1), Greenhouse Grown Tomatoes on the Vine (small amount), Kraft Shredded or Chunk Cheese, Daisy Sour Cream, Mission Tortilla Wraps
Prep time: 20 minutes

Tuesday
Meal: Creamer Potato and Vegetable Frittata

It is hearty, protein-rich, and uses the affordable creamer potato BOGO deal to stretch the value of the produce purchase across multiple meals this week.

The natural sweetness of the summer corn and ripe tomatoes creates a bright, no-heavy-sauce needed pasta that tastes like peak July in a bowl.
