FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Warm the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave. This will prevent them from cracking when you work with them.
• If they are not sufficiently heated, heat for an additional 10 seconds until fairly warm.
• Once heated, keep them warm by placing them in a tortilla warmer, or two inverted plates.
• Put the oil in a deep skillet. The oil should be about an inch deep.
• Turn the burner to medium-low. The oil is ready when a drop of water "dances" on it.
• Remove one tortilla at a time from the warmer and place on clean surface.
• Spread 1-2 tablespoon refried beans in a line down center of tortilla.
• Place half a piece of cheese, followed by an additional fourth a piece cheese on the beans.
• Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla in, then the sides.
• Place, seam side down, in the oil.
• Fry until browned on one side. This will not take long. Turn and brown on other side.
• Prepare the remaining tortillas as you did before and place them to the oil. You should have NO MORE than 3 frying at one time.
• When you remove them from the oil, place on a thick layer of paper towels to dry.

FRIED POTATO BURRITOS

When oil is hot, put your potatoes in the skillet and fry on one side until golden brown and crusty. While it is cooking, chop an onion. Turn over the potatoes on other side.
• When potatoes are golden brown, put onion on top then salt and pepper to your tasting and cover the skillet with a lid until potatoes are golden and done on both sides. Turn off skillet.
• Heat up tortillas. Drain grease and put a serving of potatoes on tortillas, sprinkle crush red pepper on them and then roll them up. They are delicious. Serve while they are hot.

FRIED EGGS AND "REFRIED BEANS" BURRITOS

Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Place the wrapped tortillas in the oven to warm. Add the cumin and chili powder to the onion and cook 1 minute. Add the pinto beans and 1/2 cup water and cook for 5 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth with some lumps. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and keep warm while you cook the eggs.

• After you remove the papery husk of the Mexican tomatillo, you're looking at a vegetable with a strong resemblance to a small green tomato. It doesn't taste like a tomato, though. Rather, it has a faintly lemony flavor all its own. Tomatillos are a key ingredient in the Mexican green salsa that is served with many dishes alongside red (or tomato-based) salsa. I have specified Tomatillo Salsa as the topping for the Fried Eggs and Refried Bean Tortillas, but it would also be delicious with any grilled or sauteed fish or chicken. Combine the tomatillos, scallions, cilantro, oil, lime juice, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until the ingredients are almost smooth with a few small chunks. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.;

FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Brown beef with taco seasoning. DO NOT add water to the seasoning as directed on the packet, as we have found this makes the filling much too runny.
• Drain meat.
• Mash beans or process in food processor. I sometimes remove a few of the jalapenos, but this is up to you.
• Stir together beans and seasoned beef. Stir in cheese. One lady I know uses 1 cup, while we sometimes leave it out altogether. This, again, is personal preference.
• Spoon filling into tortillas. We prefer "soft taco" sized tortillas, which will make about 7 burritos. Smaller sizes make them difficult to seal, while larger sizes tend to be "too much" for us, but they may be perfect for you! Be sure to fold in both end of the tortilla; seal shut with toothpicks.
• Heat about 3/4" cooking oil in a pan. When hot, add 2-3 burritos. When the bottom turns a deep gold, after about 3 minutes, flip over and brown other side.
• Drain on a wire rack over a paper-lined plate.
