It’s amazing to me how expensive beans and rice are.

A part on most Mexican restaurant menus is “a la carte” where you can just order the meat and fixins part of a “taco plate”.
$5.50 vs $13.

Why on EARTH are rice n beans so much when they are usually the CHEAPEST thing in a grocery store?

I order 2 chicken fajita tacos without the tortilla.

They look at me weird.

I don’t want to get into the whole “corn chips make me sick” bit.

I just order what I know I will eat and it’s plenty without spending $7 for cheap rice n beans.
