I sort of agree with this. If you microwave for 45 seconds first then finish in a toaster oven for 5 minutes it is basically the same flavor as most "authentic" mexican restaurants - with better texture.

The cheapest eats, per unit of flavor, though are probably bean and rice based soups/dishes you make yourself.

2 lb black eyed peas, soaked over night. Discard soaking water. Cover with water and start cooking. Add a large package of chicken stock. (2 quarts?)

Chop 2 onions, 2 garlic cloves, and 5 celery stalks as fine as you can. Dump in pot. Continue cooking.

Buy about 2 lbs of ham. Chunk it into half inch cubes. Dump in pot. Continue cooking... About 2 or three hours, covered at low simmer - till beans are as you like them. I like sort of al dente.

Then I rinse a couple more cans of northern or canneli beans and dump those in. Return to a boil and its done.

Makes about 700 servings. Freezes very well. Serve over rice.

Black eyed peas and ham. Enough for a month... It turned out really good.
