BREAKFAST WRAP/CHIMICHANGA MADE YOUR WAY
I found a recipe in TOH magazine and it sounded really good, but knew I would want to tweak for my tastes, so I searched for a breakfast chimichanga and found a recipe at Mission Food Service. You could use different types of meat, veggies and cheeses. I prefer a crisy outside, so will fry mine in a bit of oil on all sides, but for those that want a healthier breakfast, just make it a wrap. This calls for a 12 inch tortilla, so if you use a smaller or larger tortilla, you will need to adjust the amounts accordingly. The recipe is for one serving, but very easily can changed to make more than one.

Steps:
- SNIP bacon into 3/4-inch squares using kitchen shears; COOK bacon in a 2-3 quart heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until crisp; ADD 2/3 cup chopped onions and saute until softened; ADD 1-2 cloves mashed fresh garlic; SAUTE for 30 seconds longer.
- ADD 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon crushed Mexican oregano, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or 1 pinch ground cloves; SIMMER 2-3 minutes.
- ADD 1 lb cooked shredded or chopped meat, 2 chopped ripe medium tomatoes, 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 dash freshly cracked black pepper and 3/4-1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste); SIMMER 2-3 minutes, stirring as needed; COVER and remove from heat.
- HEAT 6 large burrito-size tortillas in a microwave oven on 50% power for 20 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
