Plop refried beans on the tortilla and spread it around in a circle to cover most of the tortilla as if you were spreading sauce on pizza dough. Leave about one-quarter of an inch around the edge of the tortilla like a crust. Sprinkle with diced onion and cheese, then bake in oven until tortilla is slightly golden brown and cheese begins to bubble. When you take it out of the oven, slice in wedges like a pizza using a pizza wheel cutter and serve with sour cream and salsa or picante sauce. Tip: One really hungry person can eat this Mexican Pizza. You may want to cook two or three if you're cooking for two people or more.

5) Rotisserie Chicken Meal. Forget restaurants and roasting pans; grocery chains are cooking up some amazing chicken meals these days. You've probably been out to the grocery store and have seen those huge rotisserie ovens rotating dozens of chickens at a time. Pick up a hot rotisserie chicken along with a tub of macaroni or potato salad and perhaps some cole slaw as well. For added enjoyment, a can of baked beans makes the experience feel like a bona fide picnic, particularly if topped off with some healthy watermelon.

Don't settle for fatty, salt-laden restaurant foods. Take control of your health (and your wallet) with these fast and easy meals you can prepare at home.
