I like Mexican! Here is one of my favority recipes. Cheers,
The other evening I made bean and potato enchiladas and they were quite
yummy. Even my picky 10 year old loved them!

5 small potatoes, cubed
1 1 pound can beans of choice, drained and rinsed (I used pinto)
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 t. (or so) oregano cilantro would have been better, but I didn't have
any)
1 t. cumin
salt to taste
12 corn tortillas
8 oz. fat free cheddar cheese, shredded
10 oz enchialada sauce, picante sauce, taco sauce, whatever (I used
canned green enchialada sauce because that is what I had on hand)

Boil potatoes in just enough water to barely cover them. When they are
about half done add the beans, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt. Boil
vigorously to reduce the water a bit and finish cooking the potatoes.
When potatoes are done, pour off water inot the sauce of choice. Put 2
T. or so of the bean and potato mixture on a tortilla, roll and place in
a baking pan. I softened each tortilla with warm water, but dipping
them in warmed sauce would work too. When finished rolling tortillas,
pour sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Place in
oven till cheese is melted. Remove from oven and eat with salsa or pico
de gallo.

Onion would have been good in these also, but my daughter hates onion
and I didn't feel like fighting. :-D

What about the chinese Claypot Chicken Rice. You don't need to use a claypot cos you can cook this recipe in a rice cooker. I got this recipe from a girlfriend and it works!

Claypot Chicken Rice (for 2 persons)

Ingredients:

Uncooked Rice - 1 cup
Raw Chicken Breast - 1 slab, boneless
Dried Black Mushroom - 4 pieces, soaked in water and sliced thinly
Lap Cheong - 1 strip, if available (this is optional), sliced thinly
ginger - cut into tiny little pieces
garlic - cut into tiny little pieces
light soy sauce - 2 tbsp (this is the regular soy sauce)
dark soy sauce - 2 tbsp (what we call ore tau ewe, it is very thick and black)
sherry - 2 tbsp (optional)
sesame oil - 2 tbsp
pepper to taste

Cut the chicken into thin slices. Marinate it for a few hours (or
overnight) in the fridge in all the above ingredients except for the
rice. Cook the rice in your rice cooker, shortening the water by the amount of liquid in your chicken. When the water in the rice cooker is boiling, dump in the chicken mixture. When the rice "tiak" (the button has jumped up) wait about 1/2 hour and then open the lid and stir everything up. It is now ready to eat.

Actually, most ethnic cuisines have some recipes that are simple and straightforward. I've done some very quick, easy Mexican things; I have a couple of quick, easy, and authentic-seeming Southeast Asian recipes; and there's tons of Italian food that's very straightforward and just relies on having good fresh ingredients. It makes sense, because every cuisine was developed by people who were mainly just trying to feed their families and did not have all the time in the world. (The recipes are simple and straightforward once you have the ingredients on hand. It's shopping for fish sauce, ancho and guajillo chiles, achiote, Thai basil, sour oranges, tahini, asafetida, garam masala, etc, in a North American supermarket that can get exasperating, since you have to go to 3 different markets to get the ingredients for one thing sometimes.)

depends where you are lots of ethnic recipes need specific items even for the easiest of recipes
chinese tends to use lots of veggies that are not always avail everywhere....water chestnuts, baby corn and pea pods.....special sauces, certain kinds of tofu, and wraps for variety of items egg rolls, dumplings etc.

for indian and other asian dishes special kinds of rices and very fresh veggies

for phillipino longenesa, certain kinds of noodles

for many island nations need seafood or specific fruits that are not avail in all areas

but almost any cuisine has the same number of easy recipes one just has to look for them....one of the best places to find good ones is allrecipes.com

I'd like to say sashimi, since it is a bunch of slices of raw fish! No cooking required!
