breakfast burritos
Gavin has spent countless mornings hiking several blocks from
work to spend up to $3 on the wrapped offerings of various establishments.
At some point (most likely when he arrived at some coffee shop,
only to find out they were sold out of vegetarian burritos) he
determined that not only could he make a simple and tasty burrito
himself, but he figured that he could probably make a little profit
if he wanted to go to the trouble of offering them to his co-workers.
This plan has so far gotten to the beta testing phase. He spent
one evening making about 20 burritos which were taken into Gavin's
and Robin's offices the next morning to be given away. Feedback
was very positive and it was determined that people would definitely
pay $2 for these little gems. It was also determined that there
was no time to undertake this venture so... it ain't gonna happen.
mixins
Start by washing the taters. Leave the skin on as that is one
of the best parts. Then cut them up into small cubes and dump
all of the cubes into a pot of water. Boil until soft (10-15 minutes).
While the potatoes are cooking you can prepare the rest of the
fixins. Warm up the green chile on the stove over low heat. Grate
the cheese. Defrost/cook the frozen veggie sausage in the microwave
(if you are using it), and then chop/crumble it up.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and warm a large
skillet on the stove over med-low heat. Prepare a tortilla by
placing it on the skillet for a a minute or less on each side.
This will soften it up and make it easier to fold. Next take the
warm tortilla and spoon some of the potatoes onto it. Next add
some cheese, a dollop or two of the warmed green chile, and sprinkle
some of the veggie-sausage crumbles. All you have to do now is
"smack it! flip it ! rub it down! Oh no!!!"
Rolling instructions for the burrito challenged:
- With tortilla in front of you, pile contents horizontally
across the shell about a third of the way up while keepng about
an inch open on either side.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the contents.
- Fold over the left and right sides.
- Roll burrito away from you

ragz.com tidbit
While typing out this recipe, Gavin and Robin
started to crave the burritos so much that web site production
was temporarily halted so a batch could be cooked up.
