Posted: 2/28/2007 6:30:23 PM | Huevos a la Mexicana (Mexican Style Eggs)
6 eggs, whole large
2 green onion, chopped all the way including the green parts
1 tomato, peeled and chopped or 2 from a can
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced*
2 Tbsp olive oil,
oregano, a sprinkling of fresh if available, dry if not
salt, one shake from a salt shaker for every egg used
cilantro leaves, fresh and chopped, a couple of Tbsp
Heat oil in a large cast iron frying pan on medium high heat. Add the onions and brown for a minute or two. Add the chopped tomato and let cook for a few minutes on medium high heat until the tomatoes are somewhat cooked and mushy and some of the moisture has evaporated. It's okay if the tomatoes brown a bit. Add the oregano. Add the jalapeño pepper. Crack eggs directly into the pan with the cooking sauce. Add salt. Stir with a spatula to mix in the sauce and to lightly scramble the eggs. Remove from heat when the eggs cook to the desired consistency. If you are using a cast iron pan, remove the eggs from the pan and put into a serving bowl. Otherwise the eggs will continue to cook in the heat of the pan. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Serve with bread or heated tortillas.
Serves 2 or 3, depending on how many eggs per person are used. | |

Thank you. I have been looking for an easy burrito recipe. (If it is easy, it is for me). My son makes these on the weekend, wraps them in plastic wrap and freezes them for an alternative breakfast when he oversleeps. They are yummy! Heading for the kitchen right now.  | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 5:38:59 AM | I love anything Mexican and would eat it anytime of the day. Here is an easy lasagna Tex-Mex style that frees you up for 2 hours before dinner. Serves 12 (6 in my family)
1 box lasagna noodles
1 pound ground meat
1 can refried beans
1 jar salsa
water
2 cups sour cream
2 cups shredded cheese
chopped black olives
chopped green onions
Layer noodles, ground meat, and beans in a baking pan deep enough to hold it.
Pour salsa over all
Add water just to the top layer. This extra liquid will cook the noodles for you.
Cover tightly with foil. Put pan on baking sheet to catch any overflow.
Bake in 350 oven for 1.5 hours
Remove from oven
Add grated cheese. Return to oven for 5 minutes just to melt cheese.
Allow to rest about 20 minutes if you can wait that long.
Cover with sour cream
sprinkle with olives and onion.
Serve with a green salad
Omit the water if you prefer to cook the noodles first. (I never do)
It is not necessary to cook the meat first, but it is up to you. I tried it both ways and it doesn't do much to the finished product.
Hope you like it. | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 1:24:17 PM | Another breakfast burrito recipe
1 can black beans
1 can white beans
3 extra large eggs (beaten) (I like to add a little milk so they're a bit fluffy)
1 can goya tomato salsa
1 package charizo Mexican sausage
1 green pepper (sliced)
Sliced black olives (optional)
Cut the casing off of the sausage. Throw the casing out. Fry the sausage in a large frying pan.
Heat the beans in a pot while the sausage is cooking.
When the sausage looks done, add the eggs.
Keep the heat on high and continually scrape the bottom so that the eggs fluff, get spread among the sausage, but don't burn.
When the eggs look cooked, add the beans and the salsa. Mix it well. Then add the green pepper and the olives (if you want olives).
When it's well mixed put it on flour tortillas and add anything (cheese, sour cream, guacamole) that you like.
I couldn't tell you how many this serves, but when I make it I tend to eat it for 3 days. (I'm the only one I'm cooking for with this as not many of my friends like spicy food. When I make this I have one big meal a day for 3 days.) | |

( pronounced: chill- ah –kill-es)
This is a baked dish using tortilla chips, chicken , onion cheese and coated in the sauce.
It can be awesome for lunch, dinner, a picnic or even breakfast the next morning.
One onion- half chopped- half slivered (save slivered for next step)
Minced garlic
Olive oil
Tomoato sauce
½- ¾ cup chicken broth
¼ cup Chipotle sauce- optional
Tortilla chips- (store bought will do)
Cooked and shredded chicken (1 breast or 2 thighs)
Mozzarella or Monterrey jack cheese (or both) (1 cup)
Tomato sauce:
Sauté chopped onion in olive oil, add garlic, and then tomato sauce basil and 1 tsp brown sugar, heat through and then add chicken stock and chipotle sauce (optional) and heat through. Put aside.
Alternate sauce: make Mole (red or green) sauce by dissolving in the chicken stock and omit the garlic and simmer. Then follow the following steps.
Tortilla
Method:
In a deep baking dish put a little sauce (1/4 cup), then layer with some tortilla chips, then chicken, slivered onion and cheese and repeat the layers- finishing with onion and cheese.
Bake for 30 mins at about 300 C / 150F, and cheese on top is melted. The tortilla chips should absorb the sauce but still be moist. serve with a dollop of sour cream (or creme fraiche) on top of each individual serving.
This has always been a hit. | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 10:56:27 PM | | Whoa...somebody has got to find some green chiles to put in the sausage , egg , onion and cheese mixture. No breakfast burrito is complete with out them. Or Eggs Rancheros, which a Spanish girlfriend of mine told me were house eggs or old fashioned eggs in our language. | |

Posted: 5/15/2007 10:16:15 AM | Not sure this is anywhere near "authentic", but it isn't un-tasty.
Eggs Ranchero
4 eggs
4 small tortillas (or two larger ones)
2 tbs. butter
¼ cup grated cheese
4 green pepper rings
vegetable oil
Ranchero Sauce:
2 tbs. olive oil
1 cup finely chopped green pepper
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chili sauce or salsa
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 tbs. lemon juice
1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp. chili powder (or to taste)
To make Ranchero sauce: heat vegetable oil in medium saucepan over moderately high heat; sauté green pepper and onion, stirring constantly, until vegetables are just tender. Add chili sauce, tomato sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire and chili pepper; bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fry tortillas until soft, but not crisp. Fry eggs until yolk is still runny. To serve: brush each tortilla with a little sauce, top with an egg, more sauce, cheese and a green pepper ring. Serve immediately. Serves 2. | |

Posted: 5/16/2007 2:01:09 AM | This is a a really simple breakfast recipe and it is so filling- 1 will usually do.
"Syncronizada" (Mexican grilled cheese)
2 tortillas (corn or flour)
dab of butter
3 -4 slices of monterrey jack cheese
sliced turkey or chickent lunch meat
heat fry pan. Lightly butter one side of the torilla. on the non buttered side put a slice or two of the lunch meat, then the cheese and then top with the other tortilla- with buttered side facing out.
Put into frying pan- brown one side and then carefully flip and brown the other side.
Serve with salsa verde, regular salsa, hot salsa,or guacamole . if you want use ketchup- that works too. Kids like it because it is simple.
It is nice and filling too. (See if you can finish 2 of these)
