This is a little dependant on the definition of
healthy, but I see carbs as a little bit of poison, so my go to meal is always omlette au fromage. I roll it into a sort of wrap while it's on the pan, but other than that I do nothing special. -
Brocoli pasta or rice salads really hit the spot Anything pasta really

Not a direct answer to your question, but soup makers are a fun and very, very easy way to eat healthily and cheaply. I got mine from a charity store for £5 but they're available new for under £50. You literally just throw in your ingredients, a bit of water and press go. Thirty minutes later: thick, tasty, piping hot soup. It's a really good way of using veg that's reduced at the supermarket.

If you spread it out over several meals, ramen is totally doable and affordable from scratch.
Look up the PDF by ramen lord, I also have a comic like ramen book that's great
Edit: I tend to make a batch of broths and freeze them. Lasts several meals that way. (For a family).
Second edit: the other book is "Let's make ramen" and it's great.

Cook your choice of something like rice, Quinoa or barely. Maybe dice half an onion and toss it in as well. Bonus points for switching 1/4 of the water for veg stock. When it's done cooking, through in some canned beans and hot sauce. Mix. Serve in tortillas as a taco. Bonus points for grated cheese, salsa, and/or avocado in the taco as well.
One pan. Lots of protein and fiber. $4 for multiple meals.
Ooh, you know what's great with that? Homebrew salsa.
Just throw a jalapeno pepper, two small tomatoes, and a small onion into a food processor. Then, put in salt, pepper and garlic powder, and you have salsa that is better than the $5 garbage in the jar. And a lot of it.
