Rice is always a cheap alternative to pasta.
Soft tortilla shells can make tacos or burritos, and I've come up with quite a few variations on my "ghetto burrito".
Take the contents out of the fridge, put them on a tortilla, spread around, and microwave (mixing it up and heating some more for larger ones that may need it)
Rice, salsa, and shredded cheese makes the original
Rice, beans, salsa, cheese, ground beef (seasoned if possible), chicken, thinly sliced steak, or other meat all work well for this. Some cheap taco seasoning can also be used well.
Cheese on a tortilla with taco seasoning (optionally a bit of meat) also makes an easy microwaved flat quesadilla.
Canned tomatoes and some other cheap foods can also work well in conjunction with these.
