We regularly do 'Mexican food with meat', which is just a pound of hamburger microwaved (about two minutes and a time), drained, and broken up and then add red salsa. Cut up a tomato, optionally lettuce, advocado, and onion, dump cheese in a bowl, and heat up a can of refried beans.
Everyone makes their own burritos or you can warm up tostada or taco shells (Mom and Dad like to do Taco Bell style double-deckers as well). Or you can make nachos (everyone dumps some chips on a plate, adds however much cheese they like, then microwave for 15-45 seconds, and adds the toppings they like)
If I feel fancy I'll make guacamole. Get between one and three ripe advocados. Chop up an equal amount tomato and onion. If you like cilantro, chop some up. If you don't chop up some green pepper. Proportions I use are approximately: 1 part cilantro or green pepper, 2 parts onion, 2 parts tomato, 2 or 3 parts advocado. Here's the secret: add a bit of garlic powder, pre-chopped garlic, or fresh garlic - not enough to make it taste like garlic but enough to make everything else taste stronger. Add a couple of dashes of lemon juice and devour. If you don't finish it all, cover tightly with saran wrap. When you have it again, just stir in the dark bits - they're fine just ugly.
