I need to have a traditional mexican breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a Spanish project.
Also, does anyone know if these are traditional?
For Breakfast: a breakfast burrito
For Dinner: Filetes de res con platano, pina y cebolla
I’m have most trouble finding lunch
Thanks for any help 
A Mexican breakfast might be a piece of sweet bread and a cup of coffee, atole or hot chocolate or glass of milk or juice. Or a tamal and a hot beverage, glass of milk of juice. Honestly! Many Mexicans call that breakfast-the first thing they have in the morning to "desayunar" or break their fast. many people in this country have a hearty mid to late morning meal called "almuerzo" which if late enough could be compared with brunch.
For a hearty breakfast, or almuerzo if you wish, Mexicans usually have fresh fruit juice and or fruit, often with yogurt and possibly granola and honey; maybe a sweet bread or roll; followed by a main course which could be huevos a la mexican ( Mexican style eggs – scrambled with tomato, onion and green pepper, usually serrano) or huevos rancheros ( Ranch style eggs- two eggs sunnyside up placed on tortillas and covered with red or green sauce); a variant of this called huevos divorciados (divorced eggs- in which one egg is covered with green sauce and the other with red); many times simple scrambled eggs or an omelette are called for. But Breakfast doesn’t have to be all eggs. Sometimes we have enchiladas ( soft tortillas filled with chicken and covered in red or green hot sauce) or their relatives chilaquiles which are fried tortilla chips covered drowned in hot sauce with chicken on top or simply the chilaquiles. In most cases chilaquiles and enchiladas are topped off with a bland crumbly cheese, cream and diced onion with a side of refried beans.
Sometimes people like a steak for breakfast. Steak and eggs, steak and enchiladas, steak and chilaquiles are all popular for the hungry Mexican.
Comida is dinner. The main meal of the day. It is served between 2:00 and 4:00 P.M.
Dinner usually begins with a light soup- a broth with a few vegetables-called caldo or consomé , sopa de fideo (broth with thin noodles), or a "crema" which is cream of whatever. The first course might also be rice or pasta. Mexicans consider rice and pasta to be soup.
The main course follows and is usually a fried or grilled piece of beef, pork, chicken, or fish. Some shellfish dishes are popular, but for daily consumption fish is more common unless one is on the coast. There are also wonderful stews and things like tinga, picadillo, and mole which I don’t have the time to go into now.
Afterwards dessert might be arroz con leche (rice cooked in milk with sugar and cinnamon sticks) or flan (a custard) or bananas, strawberries or other fruit with fresh cream.
During this meal people usually drink a fruit drink such as limeade, orangeade, or a similar fruit based drink. Horchata, made from rice, sugar and cinnamon and agua de jamaica made from a hibiscus infusion are also big favorites as are commercial soft drinks.
After 6:00 PM Mexicans consider what tey eat to be cena ,"supper", a lighter meal and can consist of a sandwich, tacos, tamales, soup pretty much anything including breakfast cereal. This does not mean that there are no large meals consumed in the evening or at night. Frequently they are.
I hope this clears some things up for you

Lunch: Tacos! It’s the traditional Mexican sandwich!
Breakfast: Huevos Rancheros : Eggs fried, placed on a warm tortilla spread with re-fried beans and topped with warm salsa.
Dinner: Chili Verde : Pork roast slow cooked in a slow cooker with green chile salsa. Served with warm corn tortillas, beans and rice.
