Breakfast Burritos and More!

Sometimes it's nice to have a change from morning cereal.


When we lived in the southwest, I used to love to go out to breakfast and order burritos.


They consisted of large white flour tortillas filled with bacon, eggs, potatoes, onions and so forth. Mmm mmm mmm


So one day not too long ago, we had burritos made at home.  I chopped up red and green peppers very finely and cooked them in a little bit of olive oil.

                                 (Used shiny gold-colored cloth napkins.)
 

Then, I added packaged hash brown potatoes. When they were cooked, I stirred in eggs mixed with a little half and half.

This time I left out onions at my daughter's request but usually I'd add about a cup, finely chopped.


When everything was gently cooked, I sprinkled about a cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of everything in the frying pan. 

Then I put the mixture into warm tortillas and folded them over.

Beans cooked in the crockpot and whipped smooth in the food processor accompanied the burritos.

 I also added a plop of sour cream to the beans and a dash of our favorite salsa, Herdez. It's really the best tasting salsa one can find that is the closest to real Mexican salsa.


We also had fried platains (platanos) and crisp bacon. I put the bacon on a cookie sheet the previous night and cooked it slowly in the oven, set at about 275 degrees. 

Then, I placed the cooked bacon on paper towels and popped it  into the refrigerator overnight.

Next morning, back into the oven the bacon went. It's always nice a crisp when cooked this way.

Gee whiz, didn't mean to take up  too much of your time with a post this long but I wanted to tell you all about our breakfast burrito meal!
