Simple Burritos

So I wanted something quick and easy to eat this weekend and I came up with Burritos. In the area I live there is a large influence of TexMex/Mexican/Latino cooking, which makes me very happy. So much good food around here that I have to try my hand at it quite often.

Ingredients:
1 lb Ground Beef
1 can Black Beans
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Jalapeno Pepper
Lime Juice
Tortillas
Garlic Salt
Shredded Cheese

I began by gathering my ingredients. This is a pretty cheap dinner to make, so keep that in mind for during the week when you want something tasty, cheap, and quick.

I then diced up the Peppers.

Now I opened the can of black beans and put them in sauce pot and turned the heat to MEDIUM so they are nice and hot.

Time to cook up the Ground Beef. Very simple process, make sure to dice it up finely while cooking if you can. I added Garlic Salt to the meat, along with a healthy dash of Lime Juice. Makes the meat tasty and unique!

Alright, now get your Tortillas. I put some Gruyere cheese down first. I know an odd cheese choice for this, however I like the twist on flavor that it does in a Mexican themed dish.

Now I have everything ready to go.

I put it together quite simply, all lined up next to each other. Topped off with a Monterey Colby Jack Cheese mix. The second one I made was not so pretty looking, and did not last long enough to take a picture. Enjoy.

Fresh Salsa!

I love making salsa since it is a great addition to so many dishes! It's very easy to make and very easy to customize your flavor.

Ingredients:
6 Roma Tomatoes
1 Red Onion
1 White Onion
1 Cubanelle Pepper
1 Bell Pepper
2 Caribe Peppers
2 Red Fresno Peppers
1/4 cup of Lime Juice
2 healthy pinches of Italian Herbs Mix



So first off you start with using a food processor to puree the Roma Tomatoes. It will look pink, but that's how fresh tomatoes look, so don't worry just yet.

After that is done you do the same to the Onions and Peppers. Put all of this into a tupperware container and add the Lime Juice and Herb Mix. Stir together quite thoroughly. Seal and put into your fridge. Serve when cold!

You can just serve it fresh, it does taste quite good as is. I think that putting the salsa in the fridge overnight, or at least for an hour or two, lets the flavors blend together better.
