FRIED BURRITOS
These are an all time favorite go-to meal. I've made these for; parties, packed lunches, trips to the drive-in, movie theater, amusment parks (BIG $ SAVER), and of course dinner along with spanish rice. I should mention the mixture was one of my grandmother's lifesaver's. You see she was a mother of 11 and with her being a stay...

Steps:
- 1. Step 1: Brown ground beef along with; onion, garlic, salt, pepper and chili powder on medium-high heat. Drain and return back to the pot.
- 2. Step 2: Over medium-high heat add the beans along with the liquid from the beans to the meat mixture. Once the mixture starts to bubble turn off the burner and smash still leaving some beans whole.
- 3. Step 3: Place 1-2 Tbsp. shredded cheese in a line along the center of the tortilla (not too close to the edges or the cheese will fall out while frying). Then add about 1/2 cup of meat mixture and roll into a burrito leaving one end open then lightly flatten the burrito (remember not to much pressure because then you will start to loose mixture from the opened end)to prevent rolling around while browning. Repeat until you have all the burritos prepared.
- 4. HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A FEW CHANGES! I MYSELF PREFER THIS METHOD: Step 4: Heat 2-3 Tbsp. veg. oil in a large skillet/frying pan on med-high heat. When the oil is hot lay enough burritos to cover the bottom of the pan. Once golden brown (2-3 min.) turn over and brown the other side. As the burritos are done lay them on a paper towel lined baking pan and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. ENJOY! OR Deep fry on med-high heat for 3-5 min. turning once. When the burritos are golden brown they are done. As the burritos are done lay them on a paper towel lined baking pan and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. ENJOY!

FRIED EGGS AND "REFRIED BEANS" BURRITOS
Eggs and beans are a happy match and substantial enough for dinner. These beans are quote-unquote "refried" because I've come up with a much lighter version of the classic recipe, which involves a fair amount of lard. Originally, I'd planned to serve the eggs and beans on top of crisped corn tortillas, but they were too hard to cut through. So I wrapped the whole concoction in warm flour tortillas, adding crushed tortilla chips, cheese, and salsa to the filling--and turned the dish into a breakfast-for-dinner burrito. Serve with a sliced tomato and avocado salad.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium skillet over high heat until hot. 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. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot. Reduce the heat to medium-low, break the eggs into the pan and cook, covered, 5 minutes, or to desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, spread some of the pinto bean mixture on each tortilla, top with 2 eggs, some of the cheese, salsa, and crumbled tortilla chips. Roll up and serve.

- 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.;
Tips:
- Choose the Right Tortillas: Use high-quality tortillas that are pliable and won't tear easily. Corn tortillas are a traditional choice, but you can also use flour tortillas.
- Fillings: Be generous with the fillings, but don't overstuff the burritos or they will be difficult to fold and fry.
- Folding: Fold the burritos tightly so that the filling doesn't spill out during frying.
- Frying: Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the burritos. This will help them crisp up evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Draining: After frying, drain the burritos on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serving: Serve the burritos hot with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Fried burritos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating your own unique burritos. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried burritos a try!
