They want Americans to eat a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli and a corn tortilla for $3. Americans should feed them two bullets, one after the other.

You can’t make a $3 meal with meat. I can do it in my kitchen right now, but meat is going to put it over the top.
10 minute farro - $1.99 (can be $1.79 on sale)

Bag of frozen veggies - $0.98
Butter, salt, and pepper add negligible cost. But I also like pie spice on mine which is a little expensive:

I’d prefer adding in a handful of dried cranberries, but that’s also going to kick over the $3 limit.
Oh, and I hope you’re OK with plain water to drink.
I guess you could say “fuck it”, add the pie spice, add the cranberries, add some meat and bring the cost closer to $6, then divide it into 2 meals to bring it under $3 per meal.
Edit I take it back, it can be done with meat. Checked the pantry:
Campbell’s Chunky New England Clam Chowder - $1.99
1/6th of a box of Club Crackers - $0.66
“Mural of Flavor” spice. (Makes it taste like Chicken in a Biscuit).

Again, hope you like water to drink. 😉
