Instructions |
The Ranchero Sauce
- In a skillet add the oil or spray and heat. Sauté the onions, garlic,
and green pepper until tender.
- Add the green onions, cilantro, tomatoes, chilies, vinegar, beer, and
seasonings. Let this simmer for 5 minutes and correct the seasonings.
- Keep warm until ready to use.
The Beans
- Combine all of the above ingredients in a food processor fitted with the
metal blade. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
The Eggs (optional)
- About 16 to 20 jumbo eggs or egg substitute, lightly scrambled.
Flour Tortillas To Assemble
- Place some of the bean mixture and scrambled eggs (optional) in the
center of a tortilla. Fold up burrito-style (like an envelope) and place in an oiled
baking/serving pan. Instead of preparing this burrito-style, it can be layered
lasagna-style. Repeat until all of the filling is used up.
- Top with the Ranchero Sauce and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until
hot, about 30 minutes.
