ROLLED OMELET BURRITO

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the canola oil and chorizo and start to brown, about 2 minutes. Then add about half the jalapeno and cook until the chorizo is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Set aside. Heat the butter in a small nonstick pan over medium heat. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cook the eggs by whisking constantly and shaking the pan vigorously until the eggs begin to set but are still quite loose. Spoon the chorizo mixture down the center, top with the remaining jalapeno slices and the cheese, and continue cooking until almost completely set, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, depending on desired consistency. Fold the omelet into thirds, and turn it out onto a cutting board or a plate. Over a burner on medium heat, soften the tortilla, 8 to 10 seconds on each side, or in a skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Gently place the omelet onto the tortilla and wrap around it tightly. Slice in half on a diagonal.

TEX-MEX BURRITO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the tomatoes, half the spring onions and half the red chilli with some seasoning and set aside. Beat the eggs and milk with a fork with some seasoning.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the remaining spring onion and chilli for 1 min, then pour in the egg mix. Gently scramble the eggs by dragging the egg mixture as it sets into the middle of the pan. Cook to your liking, then take off the heat and throw on the cheese. Stir through, then divide between the wraps. Tuck up the top and bottom of each wrap and roll up, then slice in half and serve with the homemade tomato salsa, soured cream and guacamole, if you like.

MEXICAN OMELET

Steps:

• In an 8-in. skillet, saute tortilla in butter until softened, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, beat eggs, water and salt in a bowl. Pour over tortilla in skillet; cook over medium heat. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portions flow underneath. When eggs are set, remove from the heat. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup cheese. Combine avocado, 1/2 cup sour cream, chiles and lemon juice; spread over half of the omelet. Fold omelet in half and transfer to a warm platter. Top with tomato and remaining cheese and sour cream.

TEX-MEX BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 13x-9-inch pan. In large skillet, cook ground beef, potatoes, onion and chiles over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until beef is thoroughly cooked and vegetables are tender, stirring frequently. Drain.
• Add beans, salt and pepper; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Spoon 1/2 cup beef mixture in center of each tortilla. Sprinkle each with heaping 2 tablespoons cheese. Roll up each tortilla, enclosing filling; fold ends under. Place seam side down in greased pan; cover with foil.
• Bake at 350°F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve burritos with salsa and sour cream.

TEX-MEX OMELET

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together the milk, only half of the salt and half of the pepper, and the two eggs. Do not whisk until it becomes frothy; just until it comes together without any dark bands of egg yolk. It should look even in its color.
• In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
• Add the ground beef, the remaining half of the salt and the remaining half of the pepper, the ground cumin, and the chili powder to the hot butter. When the meat is mostly brown, add the minced garlic clove and diced bell pepper. Saute until the meat is fully brown and the spices are fully incorporated on the meat.
• Add the diced tomato, stir through the meat and peppers, and remove from the skillet.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Making sure that there is still a thin sheen of butter in the skillet, remove any stuck on bits with a spatula or wooden spoon. Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet.
• Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and spread the liquid out in the pan by tilting it from side to side.
• When most of the egg has set (only a few, tiny patches of liquid remain), add the meat and tomato mixture onto the flat disk of mostly-cooked egg. Add this towards one edge.
• Sprinkle bits of the goat cheese over the meat.
• With a spatula, fold the eggs over on themselves, starting with the edge closest to the meat. Fold again and -if there is still space left- again. Fold until you've rolled up the eggs into an omelet.
• Serve.
