Guerilla has a pastry dish, a reasonably priced thing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheapie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dish a reasonably priced thing' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'guerilla has a pastry' is the wordplay.
'guerilla has' becomes 'che' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pastry' becomes 'pie' (pie is a kind of pastry).
'che'+'a'+'pie'='CHEAPIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cheapie that I've seen before include "item knocked down?" , "something economical" , "Something inexpensive" .)
