SHIRL'S AWESOME EASY BURRITOS

Steps:

• Cook the beef in a large pot; drain well when done.
• *you can add the onions if you like, I don't always use them.
• stir in can of re-fried beans and approx 3/4 to half of the salsa (leave some for topping).
• add some cheddar cheese, I usually add approx 1 cup (leave some for topping).
• add salt and pepper to taste.
• let this mixture warm on the stove a few minutes just to melt the cheese.
• Turn off.
• Warm the shells a few at a time in the microwave on a plate with a slightly damp paper towel on top.
• Place 2 ice cream scoop sizes of meat mixture in the middle of the shell, roll up and place seam side down in a lightly buttered 9x13 pan (you will need more than one pan).
• Once you have rolled them all and placed in pans, brush lightly with butter or margarine.
• spread remaining salsa on top (I like to use lots and have some left over if anyone wants to add more).
• sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Place in a warm oven 200-250F approx 10-15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
• Serve with extra salsa and sour cream.
• This is a recipe that can be made for a small supper feeding 4-6 or can be made for 10 or more depending on how many shells you buy and the size of shells I buy large ones.
• This is very filling so I don't add anything to the meal.
• It is easy and inexpensive to make and not one person I have ever made it for did not LOVE it.

SPICY BREAKFAST BURRITOS WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Wrap the flour tortillas in paper towels and microwave them for 1 minute to make them pliable. Set them aside.
• Crumble the sausage finely into a large skillet over a medium heat and cook until brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the butter to a large nonstick skillet over a medium heat. Beat the eggs in a large bowl with the salt and pepper. Stir in the hot sauce, jalapenos and a splash of jalapeno juice. When the butter has melted, turn the heat to low and pour in the eggs, then add the sausage. Slowly cook the mixture, using a wooden spatula to push it around the skillet, until the eggs are totally cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place approximately 1/2 cup of the egg and sausage mixture into a warm tortilla, then add a pinch of cheese and roll up (do not tuck in the ends). Wrap in a foil square and keep warm until ready to serve. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with more hot sauce, jalapenos and salsa.

SOUTHWEST BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush a baking sheet with oil.

• Whisk together the eggs, milk, cumin, chili powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Add the oil to the skillet (you won't need to if your sausage rendered enough fat). Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the eggs. Lightly scramble until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Sprinkle each tortilla with a little bit of cheese, followed by about 1/4 cup each of the sausage, eggs and red bell pepper. Top each with a few cilantro leaves and the remaining cheese. Roll up the tortillas around the filling and place them on the prepared baking sheet seam-side down.
• Brush the tops of the burritos with oil. Bake until the tops of the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crunchy, about 15 minutes. Serve with salsa, guacamole, anything!
