OAMC Tex-Mex Egg Burrito Filling
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 lb fresh chorizo sausage
- 30 ounces southern style hash browns, thawed
- 12 eggs
- 12 cup milk
- salt
- pepper
- 14 cup margarine or 14 cup butter
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 16 ounces salsa
- Saute onion in oil until soft.
- Transfer to very large mixing bowl.
- Brown chorizo.
- Crumble into bite-size pieces while cooking.
- Move chorizo to bowl, try to reserve the oil left from the meat.
- Add hash browns to reserved oil.
- Add a small amount of oil if necessary.
- Heat hash browns through, stirring frequently.
- Add potatoes to bowl.
- Crack eggs in large bowl, beat until light and fluffy.
- Add milk and season with salt and pepper.
- I recommend you go light on the salt at this point as the sausage may be very salty.
- Melt butter or margarine in frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add eggs.
- Let sit 3 minutes without stirring.
- Push cooked eggs to outside of pan.
- Repeat process pushing eggs out every 1-2 minutes until eggs are just cooked.
- Leave eggs moist as they will cook further once mixed as well as when microwaved to reheat.
- Add to bowl.
- Add cheese and salsa to bowl.
- Mix thoroughly and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Allow egg mixture to cool until it can be handled without burning yourself or melting the zip top bags.
- To freeze: Transfer egg mixture to pint size zip top bags in 1 cup serving sizes.
- Flatten mixture and freeze.
- To reheat: Microwave zip top bag 30-60 seconds at a time to reheat egg mixture.
- Transfer to a flour tortilla, roll and eat.
- Notes: It is important to leave the eggs very moist when cooking, if you cook them fully at this point they will be rubbery when reheated.
- This recipe as written does not do well when prefilling the burritos.
- There is too much moisture when reheating and the flour tortilla becomes soggy.
- If you want to prefill and wrap the tortillas you will need to decrease the moisture in the recipe.
- This can be done by cooking the eggs until firm and decreasing the amount of salsa used.
- You can use any type of cheese you like, they are very good with cheddar, Monterey jack, pepper jack, a Mexican blend or any other type of cheese that melts well.
- If you can't find chorizo, this can be made with any fresh spicy pork sausage.
- Add additional peppers, vegetables and spices as your family enjoys.
