Taco Night Microwave Miracle

Taco Night just got faster!

Now I know taco night may not seem to take very long, but what if it could be faster. Every minute is precious, at least in our home, and I'll take every extra one. What do I do with my extra minutes? Since the meals I make take such a short time, I usually don't leave the kitchen. I get the dishes done, clean the counters, and set the table. Woohoo! No work after dinner! The kids clear the table, wash off the table, and push in the chairs. Oh, and since I usually don't use more than a cutting board, knife, mixing spoon, the Miracle Dish, and maybe a bowl, there's no more slaving away cleaning pots and pans with burnt on food endlessly.
