Beef and Bean Burritos |
||
fraxinus |
1 lb Hamburger 1 tsp Salt ¼ tsp Pepper 1 tsp Oregano 1-1/2 tsp Chili Powder ½ tsp Cumin 1 can Tomato Sauce 15 oz. Brown the burger, add the other stuff, rinse the tomato can with water (about 1/2 of a can, to a full can of water) let it simmer on low heat until the liquid boils off, (15-20 min) or one of my favorite cooking directions. Simmer until it looks like it's taco meat. Carne Asada This one makes good steak tacos, or fajitas Carne Asada Flank Steak, Skirt Steak, or Flat Iron Steak 1 Orange juiced 2 Limes juiced ¼ cup Olive Oil 2-3 Slices of jalapeno peppers diced (try a few more, Should probably equal about a tablespoon) From a jar of Jalapeno Nacho Slices ½ tsp Salt ¼ tsp Pepper 3 Garlic Cloves minced 1 tsp Chili Powder - that's a guide line, I tend to add more ½ tsp Cumin Mix ingredients in a shallow baking dish. Marinate the steak for 1-8 hours. Usually an hour or 2 is OK to good, though the longer the better. Grill the steak, and either slice up for Fajitas or Tacos or serve as is. |

A lady at work uses just chorizo, but one of our local "ethnic" stores has about 6 different no-name brands, so I'm a bit reticent about trying them. Non-chorizo is fine too. I'm game for chorizo tortas too. Used to eat them for lunch in the 1980's once in awhile at a hole in the wall place in the burbs of Chicago. Thanks. Tomster |

1 lb ground beef 1/4 C tomato puree 1 16 oz can of beans of choice (I use pinto) 1 small chopped onion 1 clove chopped garlic 1 tsp salt 3/4 tsp chili powder 1/2 tsp coriander 3/4 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp black pepper Brown the beef and drain fat. Combine all other ingredients and add to the beef and cook for about 10 minutes. Simple and really good! |

We usually do taco salad instead of tacos. We usually brown a little beef, add some beans and the seasoning, simmer until warm and thickened. Put that over a plate of lettuce - romaine works well, but any mix of greens is good. Top that with cheese, chopped onion, tomato, and crushed taco chips. Black olives and avocado can be added as toppings, as can sour cream, and jalapenos. Tomster, let us know how you like Frenchy19's recipe when you try it. |

I also put some chopped cilantro on each taco/burrito, along with sour cream, fresh salsa, a couple of my fave hot sauces (Cholula, La Victoria Salsa Brava), and some shredded Mexican 4-cheese. I love zippy Mexican food, and tend to go overboard on the heat. A good meal is when it burns twice, if you know what that means. Avocados are expensive around here this time of year, so I passed on them. They were $1.25 each! Tomster |

quote quark2222: "Frenchy - And the verdict is . . . 9 Stars! Wife gave it a 10. I gave it an 8. I think if I had used refried beans (maybe with jalapenos in them) instead of pinto beans, I probably would have given it a 10. Good stuff. Thanks for the recipe. Have fun with the $4.37! Good deal! It is an easy recipe to make, and it is better with refried; I use the pinto beans when I am going to dehydrate it for a trip. The extras you added sound wonderful! |

The aftermath - It didn't burn twice, but it definitely caused me to "toot twice". Love those beans. I have to get one of those pinecones! Tomster |
