  1. Patched this together the other day, turned out quite well.

    1 large flour tortilla
    2 large eggs
    2 slices bacon
    1/4c diced onion
    1 tsp minced jalapeno
    1/4c salsa

    Drain the salsa in a strainer and microwave briefly to take the chill off.

    Put the tortilla on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave at
    half power for about 30 seconds.

    Dice the bacon and cook with the onions til the bacon is crisp. About 1 min
    before it is done, add the jalapenos. Drain extra fat if desired. Break the
    eggs into the pan and stir until set. Add salt if needed.

    Arrange eggs on tortilla, top with salsa, and roll up.

    I was out of cheese, otherwise I would have topped the finished burrito with
    cheddar and run under the broiler.

    I always wonder when someone brings up a point about Bush, and you
    then bring up something that Clinton did, are you saying they are both
    wrong? Because that's all it points out to me, places where they both
    messed up. It doesn't negate the fact that Bush did wrong; was that
    your intention?

    That type of argument is like

    "Bob shot someone"

    "Yeah, but don't you remember when Don hit that guy with a bat?"

    The only thing I'd change is adding potatoes. Frozen O'Briens work
    well, here. Also, diced Spam is is great for this, but needs added
    fat. Perfectly suited for dorm denizens, hot plate hotrodders, camp
    fire culinists, and other one-pan practisers.

    Hee! Here in this part of Texas, the breakfast burrito is a staple...
    They have them in the dining facility at work every morning with a
    variety of ingredients and will make them fresh for you.

    Personally, I like Barbacoa with cheese, or bean and cheese with egg and
    bacon. ;-d

    Good stuff!!!!!!!

  5. If you want to make it a little lower carb, the square wheat wraps are
    much better than the round rubbery ones

    and since yer saving calories on the wrap, you have to add some sour
    cream

    Spam is not suited to anyone with any sense of taste. Trash
    ingredients in, trash meal out. Perfectly suited for trash people.

    You can find 'em all over Houston, too (they're usually called breakfast
    tacos here).

    They are here too, but in most parts of the country they'd be considered
    a buritto methinks?

    Picante sauce IMHO is pretty much a must?

    I like chorizo, it's been awhile since I've used it tho'.

    It's called a baleada here in Honduras: refried beans, egg, cheese, ham
    wrapped in a flour tortilla (basic version). These sell for $0.50 to
    $1.00 a piece. At the market - breakfast for two - 2 baleadas and 2
    horchatas - comes to $1.50. At home we jazz it up with onions, chopped
    tomatoes, sauteed green peppers and what ever else we can find to toss
    on the tortilla.

    barbeque sauce.

    I'm not a bit surprised that Spam has its proponents in this NG.

    A friend of mine visiting an old law school classmate on the island of
    Saipan in the Marianas, was invited to a wdding while visiting. A
    family member of the classmate got married. Main course at the wedding
    reception? Sweet and Sour SPAM. It's a delicacy on man of the Pacific
    Islands.

    Sounds like I'd like your kind of barbacoa. I think -- and please
    correct me if I'm wrong -- that here in Texas, it's boiled cow face...
    Which always smells delicious, but...

    I have heard that this dates from WW2 when US troops first introduced it
    to the locals.

    H-E-B sells small tubs of it, and it's actually quite tasty (I tried it
    before I knew what it was).

    Barbacoa is shredded cow face. :-)

    Pretty much just cheek meat.
    Not as gross as some traditional mexican food. <G>

    I've still not been able to bring myself to try menudo!

    Funny that, I love chicken gizzards!
