Spicy Fire-Roasted Salsa

For those who need a little more spice in your salsa, Ryan has created the spicy version of Fire-Roasted Salsa.

Spicy Fire-Roasted Salsa

• 6 Roma Tomatoes
• 1 Jalapeno pepper
• 1 Anaheim pepper
• 1 Poblano  pepper
• 1 Onion
• Cilantro (handful or to taste)

Heat grill.  Cut off the stem/top of the peppers.  Quarter the onion; poke toothpicks through to keep layers in tack.  Place everything but cilantro on the grill over high heat.  Grill peppers, onion, and tomatoes until skin is charred.  Peel skin off of the anaheim and poblano peppers.  Place peppers (including all seeds) and onion in a a food processor, and pulse a few times.  Add the tomatoes and cilantro in.  Pulse to desired consistency (we like ours a bit chunky).

Tabbouleh

Feel free to add ingredients or take some out.

Tabbouleh:

• 2 cups bulgur
• 3 cups boiling water
• 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small can sliced black olives
• 1/2 bunch of parsley, chopped
• 1/2 bunch green onions, sliced
• 1/2 small onion, diced
• 1/2 large cucumber, chopped

• 1/2 jalapeno

Breakfast Burritos

This past weekend, Ryan and I went camping with some friends.  Naturally, we had a blast!  When I go camping, I like to cook everything on the campfire.  I always think breakfast is a little bit of a challenge to cook on a fire; therefore, I decided to make some breakfast burritos ahead of time that we could then just heat up on the fire in the mornings.  I used Mr. Dell's frozen hash browns because the only ingredient in them is potatoes! 

Breakfast Burritos: 

1 or 2 Green Bell peppers, chopped
1 lb Sausage
1 bag Mr Dell's frozen hash browns
10 Grade A Large Eggs
12-16 Burrito-Sized Flour Tortillas
12-16 Slices American Cheese

Sea Salt and Pepper

1 T Olive Oil

Cooking Spray

Aluminum Foil, torn into large squares

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray.  Dump hash browns into pan; drizzle 1 T of olive oil over hash browns.  Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.  Bake for 40 minutes, flipping once.  While hash browns are baking, cook sausage on the stove in a large skillet.  Place cooked sausage in a large bowl.  Scramble eggs in the same skillet.  Add cooked eggs and green bell pepper to the large bowl.  When hash browns are finished cooking, add them as well.  Mix thoroughly.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Heat tortillas in the microwave about 30 seconds.  Place a tortilla on a square of foil.  Add a slice of cheese.  Spoon sausage/egg mixture onto the tortilla.  Wrap like a burrito; then wrap foil around burrito.  Bake in 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.  Serve with salsa, if desired. 

You can freeze these, and eat them later.  When you're ready to eat them, take them out and let them thaw.  Then bake in oven or toaster oven until warm throughout.  If you bring them camping, cook over warm coals on campfire until warm throughout.
