1. **State the problem:** We want to find the probability of randomly choosing a lunch with Tacos and Chips.
2. **Identify total possible lunches:** Each lunch consists of one Entrée, one Snack, and one Drink.
Entrées: Burger, Taco, Rice, Spaghetti (4 options)
Snacks: Chips, Apple (2 options)
Drinks: Water, Milk (2 options)
Total lunches = $4 \times 2 \times 2 = 16$
3. **Identify favorable outcomes:** We want lunches with Taco as Entrée and Chips as Snack.
Entrée = Taco (1 option)
Snack = Chips (1 option)
Drink can be Water or Milk (2 options)
Favorable lunches = $1 \times 1 \times 2 = 2$
4. **Calculate probability:**
$$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{2}{16}$$
5. **Simplify fraction:**
$$\frac{2}{16} = \frac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{16}} = \frac{1}{8}$$
6. **Final answer:** The probability of choosing a lunch with Tacos and Chips is $\frac{1}{8}$.
