Perfect steak. Could use it in so many things, besides eating it by itself, and it'd save me so much and majorly upgrade my meals.

Bbq brisket. I’m not going to go through the whole process of smoking for several hours.
Imagine unlimited burnt ends. Mmmmmm...
Unlimited smoked brisket?
An honorable death.
A nice hearty soup. Can basically travel the world because it can feed you and hydrate you when you cannot find water or sustenance. And I think it is healthy enough to not kill you if you survived on it for the last 3 months, might be wrong.
But most importantly it will not take away your pleasure of better food, such as pizza, which after three months only eating pizza, you will be tired of it for the rest of you life
Assuming cooked includes "prepared": sushi boat with a variety of rolls!
Plenty to eat, good protein, and it's something I can't prepare for myself. Also assuming magic, won't contribute to ocean decline.
Perfect bowl of Pho
In any quantity? Some nutritionally complete food that avoids as many allergens as possible. Probably some kind of fortified legume and veggie paste. With that kind of magical power, I'd be looking to slay one of the horsemen of the apocalypse
A good taco. Actually, I think the enchilada guy was right. What he said.

Bibimbap. Reasonably healthy and would take me a long time to get tired of.
Boiled little cubes of zucchini. No spice, no salt, nothing. It's for my cat, I have to do this all year round and it's annoying.
Corndog.
I just like the idea of being able to offer a warm corndog to anyone at anytime.

A nice salad with dressing and some added things like feta cheese. It tastes good, I make it rarely because the salad package / salad head always spoils before I ate all of it, and it's one of the only foods that I like that wouldn't make me obese if it was a magically available at all times.
This is a good choice! Salads seem simple but to make it interesting involves a lot of prep. And too often you go to the fridge and the ingredients either wilted or froze, plus when you're done it's still just a salad even if it's a really good one. Being able to say, "I'd like a nice arugula with apples and maple toasted pecan bits, balsamic dressing" or maybe "How about miner's lettuce and baby red leaf, with sliced grapes, Monterey Jack, sourdough croutons and nasturtiums, and put a little toasted sesame oil in the dressing."
Turn a simple burger into a gourmet meal, and healthy too.
Birria de Res Tacos
Pizza. Appropriate at any time, can survive off it's varieties and makes you ALWAYS the one invited to parties.
Some form of vegetarian chili.
Delicious, desireable in all seasons, relatively healthy.
I wonder if the people asking for fast-food type of stuff just want to die.
Can it constantly be just like slightly warm just out of the oven? If so then some kind of bread. Milk bread, sourdough, brioche, etc. I love a good shockingly fresh bread but making bread is such a chore

Chicken tortellini soup. Everyone in the house likes it so everyone could just have a nice bowl whenever!
I love how wholesome your wish is.
A nice crusty loaf of bread.
Fresh bread is so good, doesn't stay good that long, and has a very long lead time.
Two slices of cottage bread, lightly buttered on the inside with quality unsalted butter, two pieces of deli style American cheese (specifically the stuff from our local butcher but similar to Kraft Deli Select) evenly distributed in the middle.
Delicious cheese sandwich!
Antipasto or charcuterie with grilled veg, crostini or other bread, cheese and maybe some meat (salami or such) -- but particularly grilled asparagus. Something like this:

Cheeseburger
Freshly made, slightly warm hummus, with veggies and taboon-style pita bread.
It would be lovely to have something like steak or chicken or a tasty cheesy dish, but I would just wind up in an early grave I went with that.
Does it have to be cooked? Some sort of really good salad with a hundred ingredients. I can cook stuff all day but prepping a really good salad is a hassle.
Prison escape cake, with a metal file, skeleton key and a knife baked inside.
Fajitas.
Döner. I got addicted to one store's döner while I was in Berlin and I've been craving it ever since, and I've been unable to find an equivalent here.
Sliced BBQ Porkbelly in tonkotsu broth with ramen noodles, soft-medium boiled egg, green onion, bok choy, shredded carrots, corn, and enoki mushrooms served with a bottle of chilled, sweet, filtered sake. 
Pragmatic answer: grilled chicken breast
Wishful answer: quiche!!!
Chicken wings. I love a good steak, but I also enjoy cooking my own. Really good chicken wings are a pain to make. It's a no brainer, especially if I can choose the sauce for each wing.
I'm torn between ribs with a dry rub, or a blackened burger with sauteed onions, blue cheese, and bacon.
