EASY ENCHILADAS 
Use the very best burritos or chimis you can find and afford. That's the true secret to making people think you slaved all day over a hot stove. You don't even have to preheat the burritos or chimis. If you're masochistic, go ahead and make them from scratch.

burritos or chimichangas
olives
pimentos
spices such as garlic/onion/salt/pepper/chili powder
1 (10 oz.) can cream of cheese soup
1 (10 oz.) can cream of tomato soup

Note: You may substitute salsa for soups.

Grease or butter a baking pan. Layer the burritos or chimis one deep. Mix the two soups together (with spices) and pour them over everything. Or spread the salsa around thoroughly, whatever. Drain the olives and spread them over the top. Same with the pimentos.

Throw the pan into a 400°F oven and bake for about the same time you would for that amount of frozen burritos/chimis anyway. In an average size pan this would mean about half an hour at most.

If you want to use the microwave instead as I do, nuke the burritos/chimis until they're relatively warm. Remove carefully and add all the other ingredients. Return to mike covered until the sauce starts to bubble. Depending on the mike's wattage, this could be anywhere from 2 minutes to 4.

When this dish is served, smile graciously at all the compliments and keep your trap shut about how easy it is.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
