Its frozen tortilla exterior gives the impression that it is merely an oddly cone-shaped burrito. However, hidden beneath the shell is a specially-shaped reservoir of enchilada sauce waiting to erupt and reshape the landscape of the lunch plate. When placed within the microwave (3 minutes 30 seconds,
on high), the fire gods within begin to stir. The side of maize and frijoles on the plate begin to shake (representing natives dancing to placate the supernatural powers). And then, just when their dancing has reached a simmer, the tortilla summit breaks open with steam and a flood of volcanic enchilada sauce(1). Beep! Your enchilada is done. The natives' prayers have gone unanswered.
1/ Effusive eruption, not explosive.

Can we get fries with that ? |

Watch out for pyroclastic flow when you open the
microwave. |
|
| |
Would they be pyroclastic flows, or more like lahars ? |
|
| |
Would the enchillada be contrived to mimic an acidic or a basic lava ? |

If you leave it in too long, do you get a sort of Krakatoa-like explosion (extra points if the answer is yes) |
|
| |
Krakatoa was a phreatomagmatic explosion, caused by the interaction of magma and seawater. |
|
| |
A better model would be Mount Pelee, or St. Helens, or one of the many Central American volcanoes ... |
|
| |
//phreatomagmatic explosion// - now, if you were deep-fat frying your enchilada, and then introduced about a tablespoon of water... |
|
| |
For a more explosive enchilada, set the timer for 5 minutes instead of 3 and a half. |
|
| |
Would you serve this on tectonic plates? |
|
| |
For accuracy, it would be balanced on the junction of two plates, one pushing under the other ... |

As the heated enchilada sauce passes through the layer of ice, it produces a cloud of burrito dust which procedes to disable air travel for most of North-Western Europe? |
|
| |
as the digested enchilada sauce passes through the bowels it releases gas clouds which make commercial flights nearly impossible. |
