Steps:
- Make the sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the tomatillos, onion, jalapeno and olive oil on a baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper. Roast until browned, about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender with the cilantro, thinning with water as needed. Season with salt.
- Meanwhile, prepare the omelet: Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, breaking it up, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Stir the cumin, cayenne and paprika into the drippings in the skillet. Add the beans and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then add the bell pepper and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Whisk the eggs and milk in another bowl. Wipe out the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1/2 tablespoon butter. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the center is no longer liquid, loosening the edges with a rubber spatula and tilting the skillet to let the uncooked egg run underneath. Shake the pan to loosen the omelet, then spoon half of the bean mixture, chorizo and cheese down the center. Fold in both sides to cover the filling, then flip the omelet so it is seam-side down and cook 1 more minute. Repeat with the remaining butter, egg mixture and fillings to make another omelet. Top with the tomatillo sauce and garnish with the crema and tomato.
MEXICAN TEX-MEX BURRITO ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
My DH really, really enjoys this, while I just find it OK. ;) I adopted this recipe from the RecipeZaar account in August 2006, and after I prepared it Sept. 4, 2006, I made some minor changes (adding the size of canned ingredients, adding onions in with the meat mixture, etc). Original poster's comments: "This is more of a Tex Mex recipe than Mexican. Truly delicious!"

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for burritos, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them so that they're pliable and won't crack.
- Don't overfill your burritos. You want your burritos to be able to be folded or rolled up without falling apart. If you overfill them, they'll be difficult to eat and may fall apart.
- Use a variety of fillings. The best burritos have a variety of fillings, such as rice, beans, meat, vegetables, and cheese. This will give your burritos a complex flavor and texture.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making burritos. So don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings and flavors. You might just come up with a new favorite recipe.
Conclusion:
Burritos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a little planning, you can make burritos that are both healthy and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give burritos a try. You won't be disappointed.
