Who doesn't love tacos? Make the beef mixture the night before and pack in a heatproof container. Package the tortilla chips in a plastic bag and the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and cucumber in separate small containers. At school, your child can microwave the beef mixture and toss all the elements together.
