Question: What are some good, quick boxed international lunches?

I really love these easy-to-prepare, not-too-expensive A Taste of Thai/India/China meals for lunch. What else would I like?

My local grocery stores don't stock very many things like this, but with Amazon Groceries, I figure I can get pretty much anything shipped to my door.

The Asian stuff is great, so any other brands/styles/flavor recommendations are welcomed. I'd also be interested some other international flavors, like Mexican, Spanish, Canadian, et. al.

Emphasis on easiness to prepare and quality of ingrediants.

This is absolutely my favorite microwave meal: Cederlane Three-Layer Enchilada Pie. I've recently discovered that their Burrito Grande is pretty delicious, too.

Trader Joe's has these awesome Thai tuna and potatoes in curry pouches in both yellow curry / mild and red curry / hot.

Comida Loca soups. The local Whole Foods used to stock them, but now I order it online. Try this green chile chicken soup or a whole bunch of other options.

Yeah Trader Joe's has a whole selection of Indian foods in pouches for $2 each. Palak Paneer, all kinds of curries and lentils, mmmmmm.... takes 5 minutes to heat in boiling water. There are also TJ's Jambalayas, etc. also in pouches.

I like Goya Paella
It's a box of rice and powdered stuff packaged with a can of mixed seafood.

It is only remotely related to paella, but lots better than, say, a bologna and white bread sandwich.

I am a big fan of the relatively new Kashi frozen meals. They are really healthy (whole grains, no weird ingredients) with fresh, gently ethnic-y flavors. Filling and tasty and healthy - my trifecta. Favorites are the Coconut Lemongrass Chicken, Black Bean Mango, and Southwest Style chicken flavors.
