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.

BIG OLE TEX-MEX BURRITO OMELET

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the tomatillos, onion, jalapeno and olive oil on a baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper. Roast until browned, about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender with the cilantro, thinning with water as needed. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, prepare the omelet: Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, breaking it up, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Stir the cumin, cayenne and paprika into the drippings in the skillet. Add the beans and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then add the bell pepper and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Whisk the eggs and milk in another bowl. Wipe out the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1/2 tablespoon butter. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the center is no longer liquid, loosening the edges with a rubber spatula and tilting the skillet to let the uncooked egg run underneath. Shake the pan to loosen the omelet, then spoon half of the bean mixture, chorizo and cheese down the center. Fold in both sides to cover the filling, then flip the omelet so it is seam-side down and cook 1 more minute. Repeat with the remaining butter, egg mixture and fillings to make another omelet. Top with the tomatillo sauce and garnish with the crema and tomato.

PHIL'S TEX-MEX BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
• In a large skillet, cook the beef until mostly browned. Stir in onions, chiles and garlic and cook until onions have softened. Add the tomatoes, oregano and cumin and cook until the tomatoes have thickened to form a sauce about 10 minutes.
• Heat the tortillas so that they are pliable--either over a gas flame or in a microwave oven.
• Divide meat among the tortillas, about 1/4 cup per tortilla, and sprinkle each with cheese. Roll up tortillas and place in baking dish and top with more grated cheese. Bake for 10 minutes. Garnish with a thick salsa, sour cream and chopped cilantro if desired.

OAMC TEX-MEX EGG BURRITO FILLING

Steps:

• Saute onion in oil until soft. Transfer to very large mixing bowl.
• Brown chorizo. Crumble into bite-size pieces while cooking. Move chorizo to bowl, try to reserve the oil left from the meat.
• Add hash browns to reserved oil. Add a small amount of oil if necessary. Heat hash browns through, stirring frequently. Add potatoes to bowl.
• Crack eggs in large bowl, beat until light and fluffy. Add milk and season with salt and pepper. I recommend you go light on the salt at this point as the sausage may be very salty. Melt butter or margarine in frying pan over medium-high heat. Add eggs. Let sit 3 minutes without stirring. Push cooked eggs to outside of pan. Repeat process pushing eggs out every 1-2 minutes until eggs are just cooked. Leave eggs moist as they will cook further once mixed as well as when microwaved to reheat. Add to bowl.
• Add cheese and salsa to bowl. Mix thoroughly and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Allow egg mixture to cool until it can be handled without burning yourself or melting the zip top bags.
• To freeze: Transfer egg mixture to pint size zip top bags in 1 cup serving sizes. Flatten mixture and freeze.
• To reheat: Microwave zip top bag 30-60 seconds at a time to reheat egg mixture. Transfer to a flour tortilla, roll and eat.
• Notes: It is important to leave the eggs very moist when cooking, if you cook them fully at this point they will be rubbery when reheated.
• This recipe as written does not do well when prefilling the burritos. There is too much moisture when reheating and the flour tortilla becomes soggy. If you want to prefill and wrap the tortillas you will need to decrease the moisture in the recipe. This can be done by cooking the eggs until firm and decreasing the amount of salsa used.
• You can use any type of cheese you like, they are very good with cheddar, Monterey jack, pepper jack, a Mexican blend or any other type of cheese that melts well.
• If you can't find chorizo, this can be made with any fresh spicy pork sausage.
• Add additional peppers, vegetables and spices as your family enjoys.
