MAKE IT A MEAL:
No time?  Open whatever corn chip is your pleasure and serve from a bowl in the center of the table.

No time?  Toss some tortillas (corn, or wheat - as able) on a plate in the center of the table. 

Rice time?  Make and serve with rice.

Garnish time?  Riff off one of the ingredients listed on salsa (ex. pineapple, tomato, onion...).  Or a dollop of guacamole, or sour cream - as able.


(This week's posts are dedicated to a friend who finds it impossible to find time to make dinner.  She works full-time and has several kids.  Impossible only means that you haven't found the solution yet.)
