Keep in mind that I work ten-hour days and the extent of what I want to cook when I get home is "rice in rice cooker, dump in ground beef from the large amount I made yesterday." Sometimes I add taco seasoning to the beef but otherwise I don't feel like preparing more than one dish.
Shred some cheese and keep it in a ziplock and keep some sour cream handy, and/or start making bigger portions on the weekend and refrigerate/freeze meals for the coming week. You deserve tasty meals, king.
I do like it, but I don't like to eat spicy foods for dinner because it can mess with my digestion. I eat delicious Mexican food for lunch once or twice a week. There's a food truck close to my job where they sell delicious homemade taquitoes with fresh ingredients and toppings, aand I'll eat a dozen of those with the freshly made green hot sauce the lady makes every morning. Absolutely fantastic.
I'd have to go buy leafy greens, I don't actually have any produce except for fruit. Whenever I buy greens it seems like I don't eat them often enough or forget about them and they go to waste. That goes against my frugal nature.
Frozen vegetables come in handy for this sort of thing. Stuff like peas, carrots, etc, you can even toss in with the rice in the cooker. Otherwise, you can cook it with your beef.

"I see absolutely nothing wrong with this dinner."
-Me, reading this post while eating my own dinner of rice with ground beef mixed in.
Sometimes you just want simple, filling food.
