Answers:
A burrito with brown rice, black beans, (or pinto) tomato and corn salsa guacamole, sautéed onions, scallions, and hot sauce in a whole wheat or corn tortilla!. I'm vegan so I skip the cheese and sour cream!. (these also work well as lettuce wraps for a lighter meal)
Empanadas, morning star crumblers are perfect for the filling!. Goya makes empanada dough that's already rolled out, all you have to do is stuff, press, and fry
quesadillas- onions, peppers, cheese (or soy cheese) refried beans, tomatoes, black olives!. El Paso makes an enchilada sauce that goes great over top of these!.
A great way to spice up existing mexican recipes is to make your own fresh salsa it tastes WAY better than the canned stuff, this is my favorite recipe!.!.!.
2 large tomatoes
onion slices (they add a strong flavor, use sparingly)
scallions
Lots of lime juice
Cilantro
hot sauce is optional
Coarse salt
Pulse 3 or 4 times in a food processor, but leave it chunky!.
This salsa is perfect with home made chips!.!.!.
Cut corn tortillas into wedges fry in peanut oil until golden brown and lightly salt!. They taste much more authentic than tostitos!.
Hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is super easy and tasty-it's my mom's recipe!.
Green chile enchilada casserole
Mix 2 cans cream of mushroom soup (I use the low fat, low sodium, you can't tell) with one can of chopped green chiles!. Add enough of the liquid from the chiles to make a smooth consistency!.
Tear uncooked corn tortillas in quarters and make a layer in the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan-cover with a layer of sauce and then shredded cheese(I like cheddar)!. Continue until pan is full, ending with cheese( 3 layers in my pan)!. Bake at 350F 25-30 minutes until cheese bubbly and slightly browned-rest 5 minutes and enjoy!.
