The correct placement of the colon to clarify the sentence is:
2. Michael’s mom asked him to pick up a few things at the grocery for their taco dinner: beans, cheese, and salsa.
This correction properly introduces the list of items (beans, cheese, and salsa) that Michael's mom asked him to pick up.
