BREAKFAST BURRITO Recipe | | Main Course Recipe by Kevin Tighe |
| | INGREDIENTS | 1 Large Flour Tortillas (substitute any large round flat bread such as chapati, naan, etc)
Cooked Rice, plain or Mexican style with tomatoes and onions cooked with it. (use "
Last Night's Rice"
...leftover rice...the best!)
1 Egg
2 or 3 Slices of Bacon
Shredded Cheese...American, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc. Your choice of cheese, actually.
Salsa (tomatoes, onions, chili peppers, etc)
a little oil
salt and pepper
1 lime cut into halves or quarters.
hot sauce like tapatio, tabasco, etc. | | METHOD | 1. break egg into a small dish. wisk with a fork to blend it. add a little water or milk, too, if you want.
2. when blended, pour beaten egg into a small frying pan and make scrambled eggs. when done, set aside in a bowl.
3. cook the bacon until crisp. drain on paper towels. set aside. reserve some bacon fat if you want for later. (or cook first and use a little for scrambling the egg)
4. heat last night's rice either in the pan or in a bowl in the microwave. get it hot.
5. in a large skillet, add a little oil or a touch of the bacon grease. get the skillet hot. place the flour tortilla (chapati, naan, etc) into the skillet and get it hot. it will brown a bit. turn it over and get the other side hot. do not get it crisp, though.
6. remove the tortilla, etc, and place on a workboard. spoon a few tablespoons of the hot rice into the center in a cigar shape. place the scrambled egg on top of the rice. put the bacon on top. spread generous amounts of the shredded cheese over the rice/bacon/egg. put a few spoonfuls of fresh salsa on top. sprinkle with salt and pepper.
7. take the end of the tortilla closest to you and pull it up and over the egg/rice mix. take the left and right sides of the tortilla and bring them toward each other. now roll the burrito over the side furthest away from you and the burrito will be closed. (do not use so much filling that it will not close.)
8. if you want, or if the filling has cooled, place in a hot oven for a few minutes.
9. serve with hot sauce and lime wedges to shake/squeeze into each section before taking a bite. eat by holding it with your hands.
there are many variations to the fillings. sometimes fried potatoes are used instead of rice. sometimes sausage or chorizo is used instead of bacon. sometimes rice and potatoes are used, also bacon, sausage, AND chorizo! it CAN be made vegetarian, but this would be a difficult thing to find in mexico. rarely are refried beans added, but sometimes they are. even dal could be added, or substituted for eggs/meat/cheese for vegetarian burrito. a slice or two of avocado is a nice addition, too. |
