Basic Guacamole Recipe
The most basic recipe for the popular mashed avocado mixture known as guacamole includes one tablespoon of fresh lime or lemon juice for every two mashed avocados. The amount of juice can be adjusted to taste. Other ingredients sometimes mashed into the mixture include salt, onions, garlic, cilantro. oregano, and chile powder. Ingredients sometimes stirred in after mashing or sprinkled on top of the guacamole include chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, sliced green onion, and shredded cheese.

Basic Burrito Recipe
Roll cooked meats or vegetables in a flour tortilla. Add shredded cheese and salsa. Eat the burrito cold or heat it in a frying pan, conventional oven, or microwave oven. One of my favorite burrito recipes includes a filling of refried beans, finely chopped onions, sliced canned green chiles, and jack cheese, rolled in a flour tortilla and baked in a conventional oven until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is very slightly browned and starting to become crisp on the edges.

Basic Enchilada Recipe
Saute corn tortillas in hot lard (most authentic) or hot oil for a few seconds until tortillas are soft but not brown. Roll each tortilla around the enchilada filling you are using, and lay each rolled tortilla in a baking dish. Top with enchilada sauce, top with cheese, and bake until the fillings are hot and the cheese on top is melted. One of the easiest enchilada fillings is shredded cheese with or without chopped onions.
