Smothered Breakfast Burritos

I have been having a real craving for breakfast burritos.  My problem is I have no clue how to make green chili... anybody have any good recipes?

Green Chili?
Do you mean salsa verde?
If you do you can get  it from El Azteca

You can get salsa verde as well as mole verde from MexGrocer.co.uk too (see the advert at the top of your screen!)  I have ordered from these guys a couple of times, and they're fab.

If someone said to me 'how do you make green chilli?'... i would think they were talking about chicken chilli, which i make with a green sauce instead of a red sauce, and white beans instead of kidney beans.

Not really sure what you mean, yankeeangel, but either way... you're killing me, cos im hung over and could really go a breakfast burrito! 

I remember a green chili recipe that you brown up some chunks of pork, then make a roux with the pork grease & flour.  Then stir in water & green chilies to make up a gravy, & add the pork chunks back in the stew for awhile, seasoning salt & pepper, tinker with it as you like.  I can't give you anything exact & don't think I have it written down (it may be in a Tex-Mex cookbook - QG will know the one) -- but that's the jist of the recipe.  I think I saw the Frugal Gourmet do something like that once on TV, and I just remembered (generally) what he did.

I curse you and the title of this email. And everyone who replies to it thus keeping it coming up when I check unread messages. Yis are all horrible, horrible people.*














*will be making egg & potato burritos for breakfast tomorrow and will smother it in HP sauce** if I have to







**not really but whatever hot sauce I have on hand

We get jars of green chili sauce at the asian shops, I always use it when I make salsa. That would probably work, no? Easy enough to come by, anyway. At least for me!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Uh, and stella?  The first bus out of Derry heading to Belfast leaves at 6 am...expect me at your house at 7:30 lolololololol

Bet you wished you took that bus now!!







I even created a set of photos.

No kidding...I'm practically drooling on to my keyboard just looking at those pictures

ya know, i don't even like breakfast burritos but those look amazing!

Those look sooo good, Stella...

Stella, did you ever find the couple at the market in Belfast who sells homemade Mexican food?

my own interpretation of a smothered breakfast burrito:

flour tortilla
scrambled egg
chipolata sausage
bacon
fried onion
diced chipotle chile
red leicester cheese

... and the crowning glory.... Jimmy Dean Country gravy!  ( i brought it back from my last visit to Texas).
