You can whip together simple meals like this Easy Mexican Plate in almost no time. If you don’t have leftover rice in the refrigerator, you can buy packages of frozen rice from your grocery store that cook in the microwave in just minutes. Or, cooking rice from scratch only takes about 30 minutes with the Pasta Method. So no matter how you slice it, this is an easy meal. Add some shredded lettuce and you have yourself a “naked” burrito. If you can handle the extra calories, a slice or two of fresh avocado is a tasty topper too.
