Breakfast burritos
Peter Aitken
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.

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!!!!!!!

My fave is chorizo, egg, and cheese, with salsa for dipping.

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.

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!

There is a taqueria just down the block from the hospital that serves a
lightly spiced Barbacoa in their breakfast tacos. It's very, very good
and has a unique texture.

Have a Margarita or two, then give it a try. <lol>
I'm brave when it comes trying new things. Barbacoa is delicious.
Have you never had head cheese? It's pork, but the same idea.
Pretty much the only thing I'm unwilling to try is insects, and domestic
pets.

I had them at a party once, before I knew what they were.
Once I found out, I just shrugged and kept eating them. A lot of the
part goers did not. <eg> That's fine, the more for me and the others
that weren't squeemish!!!
They were breaded, deep fried and delicious.
The party host was a vet and was paid well to do the castrating at
cattle raising farms. He kept it all very clean, and carried an ice
chest with him when he did it.
I thought it was funny as hell!

Nope!
The wikipedia definition sounds like it was written by a Texan.
Understandable, as Texans imagine they're the center of the known
universe. But, further research reveals otherwise.
"The word derives from Arawak or Haitian or Taina barbacoa and became
Spanish barbacoa, "wooden frame on posts" or "framework for meat over
fire."
http://dictionary.reference.com/features/july4.html
"The local Arawakan Indians had a method of erecting a frame of wooden
sticks over a fire in order to dry meat. In their language, Taino,
they called it a barbacņa, which Spanish explorers borrowed."
http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bar1.htm
These Caribbean origins jive with those who believe barbecoa evolved
into the classic barbecued pork of the South, having been introduced
by West Indies slaves to Southern slaves.
As I understand it, the origins of the word are still very much in
dispute.

Ya know, I used to eat cod cheeks with gusto. Maybe I need to get over
it. I mean, what's the difference between eating a cow's butt and a
cow's cheeks? <g>
And I still haven't eaten menudo. Or head cheese. Or tongue. Or...

It DEPENDS on where you are. I gave the definition of barbacoa in my
part of Latin America. In Honduras, barbacoa simply means barbecue -
pollo barbacoa=BBQ chicken ,salsa barbacoa=BBQ sauce, carne de res
barbacoa=BBQ beef
Different food words have very different meanings thoughout Latin
America.
A taco in is not a folded in half tortilla with filling inside as it is
in the US. It is a soft, flat tortilla topped with meat. A burrito is a
rolled four tortilla filled with meat and vegetable and deep fried,
topped with sour cream, shredded cabbabe, and a sauce similar to what
Americans refer to as enchilada sauce. It isn't what folkd from the US
think of as a burrito. Those are called gringas. An enchilada is a
fried corn tortilla topped with meat, shredded cabbage, cheese, and
chismol. Oh..and chismol is the name for pico de gallo.
Before categorically saying no it isn't a specific thing, make sure
you know what the word means throughout the Spanish speaking world. I
specified in my definition that it means BBQ IN HONDURAS.

"Barbacoa de cabeza is a specialty of slow cooked cow head"

The word barbacoa itself simply means barbecue.

I don't live in Latin America...
I was referring to the local recipes.
I also do not live in Honduras. I was referring
to the LOCAL usage here in Texas!
Thanks anyway!
Barbacoa is shredded cow face.
Period, end of story.
Here where _I_ live!
And I hate pico de gallo due to the over-use of cilantro.
I'm one of the many that cannot stand that stuff!
Tastes like soap chips.
I'm a gringo and proud of it.
Deal with it. ;-)
