Butter beans with olives. Cover it in oregano, some garlic, some chilli flakes, and then drizzle a tiny bit of soy sauce and plenty of olive oil over the top.
It's dumb, but it's so tasty, quick, and easy.

Cream of wheat but then you put a gloop of fruit yoghurt on top. Delicious probiotic fruit gruel.
2nd place goes to microwaved potato
Do you eat it with or without the microwave?
Inside the microwave.
Not super common but commen enough and just for a snack, but I like using tortillas if there's no bread in my apartment. I use them for things like peanut butter and mayonnaise wraps and peanut butter and butter wraps.
I also sometimes use tortillas for leftovers in general, depending on the leftovers from the night before. Last time there was leftover homemade mac and cheese and catfish, I heated them and had that wrapped in a plain tortilla with nothing else for breakfast.
On the area of Mexico that I grew up in, every morning (or every other morning) you would buy fresh corn tortillas for the family. Weโd make a taco out of anything.
There is a macaroni salad (with lettuce, peas, carrots, etc.) served at weddings and special events people sometimes pair it with mole sauce and add it to a taco (tortilla) - the main dish is mole with chicken and rice and beans, but people in my region would not think of a Mac and cheese taco as too strange.
My mom also used to make a canned tuna mix (mayo, tomato, onion, lime, salt and pepper) that we would pair with a tortilla and it slaps. Iโve feed this to people from the US and they came back for a second and third taco.
We also would pair a rolled up tortilla with soups (chicken, beef, fish) and used it to push the veggies and meat into a spoon while taking a bite of the part that got souped up.
Corn goes surprisingly well with both sweet/savory (mole) and salty (meats, etc). Iโve never thought of pairing it with PB, but I can see how it might work. If you were referring to flour tortillas, those tend to have a slightly sweet profile, so it seems it could work.
...you're a bad person and you should feel bad, but i used to like tuna casserole when i was growing up which i think is like blue-box macaroni and cheese, canned tuna, cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas, and crushed ruffles baked together...
...maybe?..i don't think i've eaten it since the seventies since my stepfather hated it, so i might not quite be remembering it correctly...
Microwaved pepperoni chips.
Put pepperoni on a plate with some paper towels, microwave for one minute. The apartment will smell either heavenly or sickening for the next hour, depending on how much you like pepperoni.
Works with any sliced sausage really
Take a sweet bun that has a curd filling, cut it in half like a burger bun. Spread cream cheese on both sides. Add ham, cucumber, salad leaf. Serve with tarkhuna. This recipe might doxx me to my friends, because I always say to try it but nobody ever does.
Liver and ground beef in a skillet.
Easy post workout meal, easy to clean, only minutes to cook.
Nobody I know would eat liver
Germany has brands of bottled curry sauce that are great on white rice.
I've never seen them in the US... but mayonnaise and curry powder is close enough.
Ranch noodles, though, I've served to guests all the time. It is exactly what it sounds like. You squirt ranch dressing all over fresh elbow / corkscrew pasta, and ideally cool overnight. It's two-ingredient pasta salad. Ranch is buttermilk, garlic, dill, and a bunch of other spices. Great as a side. Add pepper.
Bun, brat, mustard, sourkraut. If there is a pack of malt vinegar in the drawer, that too.
