Salmon can be an extremely versatile protein option for a leisurely lunch. I can prepare a healthy meal quickly and add it to salads, wraps, or by itself. One savvy lady says, "I have a bag of 6oz frozen filets in my freezer. When I don't have anything for dinner and need something fast, I can throw a filet in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 8 minutes or so.
Take your pick from beef, chicken, turkey, tuna, or salmon; these are all found in your local freezer section. These patties can be ready in about ten minutes, and the only other items you need are your favorite bread and condiments. These also make a perfect handheld lunch if you are on the go or want to get a quick walk on your lunch break.
Tamales are one of my favorite Mexican delicacies. Made from corn dough, they may be filled with various meats, cheeses, and vegetables, a perfect item to keep frozen as they can be re-cooked quickly. Keep some salsa and sour cream on hand to enhance the flavors and add some spice!
Hot dogs don't need to be kept frozen, but they definitely are a quick snack if you are short on time. What I find great about hot dogs is I can make more than one simultaneously. That is perfect if you are trying to feed yourself and your kids while juggling various daily commitments.
Potstickers are one of my top choices when I see them on a restaurant's menu. Savory dough filled with meats and vegetables, I can easily toss them in the air fryer for a tasty lunch. I pair the potstickers with soy sauce or hot sauce, and I can have an easy snack in no time.
Everyone should have a frozen pizza in their freezer when they need a quick meal and don't feel like cooking. Frozen pizzas are perfect for throwing in the oven and having a delicious meal in under twenty minutes. They are great for having leftovers or for feeding your family as well!
I like to buy bulk bags of fried chicken nuggets or tenders to heat up when I want a snack or an easy comfort meal. A perfect meal for the air fryer, they come out nice and crispy, ready to chop up and throw on a salad, make a sandwich or wrap, or eat by themselves. This is another item I love because I can make it for myself or my family.
