Rule #2 Chop, dice, slice and shred.

A chicken breast with a side and some veg feeds a person reasonably.  That same chicken breast shredded up and mixed with a quarter cup of cheese can make 16 10" long taquitos which can really be halved to a reasonable 5" giving you 32.  4 or 5 of these 32 with some rice and beans is a super filling bit of Mexican happiness feeding nearly 8 people.
Think stir-frys, tacos, pasta bakes, casseroles and even pies.  Whatever you can do to take a small amount of meat chop it up with with veg and a bit of carbs will massively stretch your dollar.
