1-2 iceberg lettuce or romaine, washed and chopped( (£0.55)
500 g (less than 5% fat) lean pork mince (£2.25)
400 g 1 can (240g drained weight) of black beans, rinsed (£0.50)
180 g (1 large bag) tortilla chips/Doritos (£0.43)
200 g feta, crumbled/grated (£0.70)
326 g (1 tin) sweetcorn (£0.38)
250 g cherry tomatoes, halved (£0.50)
50 g spring onion, thinly sliced (£0.49)

Preheat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat, coated with rapeseed oil/olive oil (1 tbsp). Add the mince into the pan and break apart (roughly) with a spatula. Leave to brown on a high heat for five minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
After this time, the mince should have taken on some nice colour. Break apart properly now with your spatula and stir, adding all of the spices and onion/garlic granules. Continue to cook for another 3 minutes and set aside to cool.
Once cooled, divide the mince into 5 tall meal prep containers. Next, add the cherry tomatoes, black beans, sweetcorn and spring onion.
Next, divide the lettuce into each container. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the lettuce to act as a barrier between the lettuce and the tortillas. Add the tortillas and seal the container.
When it’s time to eat, remove the tortilla chips and add to the side of a bowl. Pour the salad into the bowl and crumble over some feta. Enjoy!

Brown the mince on high heat without stirring for the first 5 minutes for better flavor, then reduce the heat and continue cooking.
Rinse black beans thoroughly with cold water to remove unwanted liquid.
Adjust cayenne pepper according to desired heat level.
