^ Beans FTW.
Dress it up with hot sauce if you can find it.
Getting slightly off the path of “cheap”…
If you have a grocery nearby that sells cheap goods from south of the border, grab some plantains. Wait until they’re good and dark, peel, cut them in half lengthwise and then in about 2” pieces and fry them. Making me hungry just thinking about it. Sofrito for the rice.
One of my favorite cheap meals.
(USD)
Sofrito jar 2.99
25 lb bag of rice 13.50 (~55 cups of rice, 25¢ a cup)
1 lb beans, pinto 1.19, black 1.59 (2 cups/bag, 60¢ cup)
Hot sauce 1.19
Plantains 65¢ each.
Rice and beans, decent serving, 1 cup cooked each makes a good amount, 85¢ total. Assuming some salt is already available to cook the rice with.
So adding a cup of sofrito, a dash of hot sauce, and cooking up a plantain will add a little over $2 to the total, make it $3 for the whole meal.
It's crazy that those jars of sofrito got so expensive. I used to buy them for a dollar and change.
Probably tariffs? No idea. Yeah, they used to be like $1 or so.
I noticed it happened a few years ago, I would get the goya one out of convenience. Maybe people caught on at how it's a jar of magical goodness lol. Lucky for me there's a mom pop shop that makes it from scratch.
Scratch made sofrito? Nice!
Yeah, the store also has a lot of good food =)
