I Will Feed You Some Lazy Man's Mexican

(This is a Greedy Giveaway, so pay attention with your eyeballs)

You don’t have to ring the Taco Bell to get a super fast fix of Mexicano love. I did that one too many times and got food poisoning. So now I’m extra smart and real strategic with my laziness. I concocted a 580 calorie dinner, featuring Spanish Minute Rice. The meal goes from packages to plate in 5 minutes or less with the assistance of the microwave utensil.

LAZY MAN’S MEXICAN (the recipe)

Spanish Minute Rice, 230 calories per serving (one container): This Spanish version took me by surprise. I didn’t expect much, except some blah-blah boring stuff, but it really stands out for its pleasantly moist consistency. It’s a long grain, parboiled infusion of Spanish seasoning with a blend of red pepper, tomato and onion flavors. Health-hater went beast over it like a warthog on steroids. Gnaw on it as is, or add chunky salsa for extra flair. If sodium makes you shriek, you need to know that each serving contains 420 milligrams.

Amy’s Especial Burrito, 300 calories: Amy’s is cool. You can actually taste the LACK of artificial crap, but damn, is it bland. Spruce it up with some salsa and sour cream and the flavors start bursting and make you want to chew.

Newman’s Chunky Salsa: 10 calories for 2 Tbsp

Penn Maid Light Sour Cream: 40 cal for 2 Tbsp

Total Calories for Lazy Man’s Mexican = 580 calories. That’s not too shabby for dinner in less than 5-minutes. For added flair, use a paper plate and plastic fork.

UP FOR GIVEAWAY GRABS

Ten (10) people who are hungry to try Spanish Minute Rice will each receive two (2) FREE coupons to get some. La-la-la-la-la-bamba! Arriba! Arriba! (that’s Spanish linguistics with Mexican dialects)

HOW DO I WIN IT?

Eh, just leave a comment. You do not have to shed blood or send me your firstborn (I don’t want no ‘mo kids).

Read? Set? WIN!

For a minute there, I thought you were implaying that mexicans/latin folks were lazy!!! LMAO Because you know, that’s completely not true. Now, if you’ll excuse, I need to go get my daily nap while on working hours…

Leave me out of the giveaway (I couldn’t really use the coupon, living abroad and all ), but good luck to everyone else.

My brother-in-law is Mexican – and an amazing cook – so I’m lucky to get some delicious, homemade Mexican vegetarian food whenever we’re visiting. It’s one of my favorite cuisines, too.

AmyLauren September 2nd, 2010 at 8:46

I love Mexican food! Would love to win some

Ryan @NoMoreBacon September 2nd, 2010 at 8:48

You need to send it over to me! And not the coupons either, the real thing! I don’t want to go to the store after it gets here. See, I really deserve it huh?

Dude, you are proving just how lazy you really are. This makes me very proud.

emergefit September 2nd, 2010 at 8:55

I live just minutes from the border, so although I don’t do Mexican often, when I do I tend to leave it in the hands of professionals. Intrigues by Amy’s burrito though — seriously, will check ‘em out.

DareToBecome September 2nd, 2010 at 9:31

YUM YUM….enter me please. Pssh….everything is tastier slathered in sour cream.

ButterflyJester September 2nd, 2010 at 9:58

I am super lazy, so I sure hope that I win so I can make this super dish for my extremely lazy family!

So….are you going to come over and nuke it for me? It’s just so much work to do it all myself. 1. take it out of the wrapper. 2. Go to the pantry for the package of paper plates. 3. untwist the twist-tie on the bag of paper plates. 4. take a plate out and place it on the counter. 5. retwist the twist-tie and replace the paper products to the very back corner of the pantry. 6. Place the nuke worthy food like substance on the plate. 7. place the plate of food like substance in the microwave. 8. set the microwave to – wait…I don’t see a button for lazy mexican food. 9. remove the now over-cooked lazy mexican meal from the death ray contraption. 10. enjoy. Definitely too much work. Count me out.

from one lazy person to another, I do not appreciate the intensity it took me to read this long azz comment you wrote to debunk my Lazy Man’s theory. I’m overworked. Now go stand in the corner as punishments.

That looks great. I was afraid you were going to say, “Pour single-serving canned chili into an open bag of Fritos. Stir with a plastic spoon and eat up.”
