Revolutionary Burritos Recipes

BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a hot pan with two tablespoons of oil, brown the ground beef with two chopped onions.
• When the meat is almost cooked, add the garlic, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper.
• Stir for a few minutes over low/medium and set aside.
• Cook the beans in water for 45 minutes and keep the cooking water.
• In a hot pan with four tablespoons of oil, fry the remaining chopped onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent but not brown.
• Then add the cooked beans, drained and 8 tablespoons of cooking water from the beans and salt.
• Mash beans while cooking to get a rather coarse puree. Continue to stir.
• Add a little cooking water if necessary so the mashed beans are fairly thick but not too compact.
• Keep on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Warm tortillas by steaming or baking them wrapped in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying.
• Top tortillas with ground meat,
• frijoles refritos
• and any of the optional toppings.

• Finish by wrapping the burrito on itself.

AWESOME BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and onion. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the sausage to the same skillet and, using the back of a wooden spoon, break it up into small bits. Cook until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the bacon and onion back to the skillet, along with the ham. Pour in the whisked eggs and use a rubber spatula to scramble the eggs and meat. Cook until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes, then add the cheese, salsa verde and chiles and stir everything together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the scramble among the 12 tortillas. Roll up the tortillas, leaving the ends open. Wrap each burrito in foil. Serve immediately.
• To make ahead: Refrigerate the burritos after assembling; reheat the next day at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes in a pan covered with foil.

PW'S BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Begin by browning the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off the grease and reduce the heat to low.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the half-and-half, seasoned salt and some pepper, and whisk to beat the eggs lightly.
• With the heat still on low, pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture. Now, with a spoon or spatula, very gently stir the mixture. Continue lightly cooking over low heat until the eggs are set. Now taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more seasoned salt or pepper if desired.
• To assemble, warm the stack of tortillas on a paper towel in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Place a heaping spoonful of egg mixture onto the middle of a warm tortilla, and top with a spoonful of Breakfast Potatoes. Tuck in the sides and roll the tortilla until closed. Wrap in foil sheets and keep warm until ready to serve.
• For cheesy and spicy variations, add grated Monterey Jack, jarred jalapenos, hot sauce or all three.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until fork tender, about 45 minutes.
• Place the hot potatoes on a cutting board and dice them into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low to medium heat. Next, put a tablespoon of canola oil in the skillet. Add in some butter and the onions and saute until they start to turn brown. Next, throw in the cooked diced potatoes and the peppers. Salt and pepper the potatoes, then stir them around, slightly pressing/packing them in the skillet. Cook without stirring for 5 to 7 minutes. You want to make sure the pan is hot enough to crisp the potatoes. Add more butter to the pan as necessary for moisture.
• After several minutes, use a spatula to flip the potatoes over and cook on the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes.
