Categories     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup leftover cooked taco meat
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon cream
1/4 cup shredded Tex Mex cheese
cooking spray
salt and pepper
pico de gallo
chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Mix together the taco meat, eggs and cream.
  • Spray an omelette pan or a small pan that can make omelettes with the cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. If you are using the omelette pan, spray BOTH sides of the pan.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan and cook on the one side until it is lightly browned on the bottom and the omelette is cooked almost all the way through. If using an omelette pan, close the top lid while cooking. Cook until only the top is runny with raw egg.
  • Carefully flip the omelette over to cook the other side. If you have an omelette pan, you can simply quickly turn the entire closed pan over. The omelette will flip inside. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Place the shredded cheese on top of half of the omelette, then fold the other half of the omelette over top of the cheese.
  • Let the cheese melt, then serve. Salt and pepper to taste. Top with pico de gallo and cilantro if desired.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 plum tomatoes, halved
1/2 white onion, sliced into 4 chunks
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more if needed
Kosher salt
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, stemmed and seeded, plus 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
2 tablespoons canned diced green chiles (mild or hot)
1 1/2 cups chopped leftover brisket (see Cook's Note)
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 taco-sized flour tortillas, warmed
1 small bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
3/4 cup crushed potato chips, optional

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack on the top level (or on a level that can accommodate a skillet) and preheat the broiler.
  • Place the tomatoes, onion, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and a pinch of salt in a small cast-iron skillet, then toss together and spread evenly. Broil, tossing halfway through, until charred around the edges, about 15 minutes. Watch closely to prevent scorching. Add the tomato mixture to a blender with the chipotles and adobo sauce. Process until chopped, about 10 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the green chiles and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Taste and add more salt if needed. Set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and cook, adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of olive oil if the pan seems dry, until crisped all over, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet, swirling to coat. Pour in the eggs and cook, undisturbed, until just set around the edges, about 15 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, pull the set egg from around the edges into the center of the skillet. Continue cooking, drawing the spatula around the edge of the pan every 15 to 20 seconds, until the eggs are softly set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Fill the warmed tortillas evenly with the scrambled eggs, brisket, tomato salsa, cilantro and crushed potato chips if using.

Tips:

  • Plan ahead: To make the most of your leftovers, consider planning your meals ahead of time so that you can use them up before they go bad.
  • Get creative: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ways to use your leftovers. There are endless possibilities, so have fun and get creative in the kitchen!
  • Use fresh ingredients: Even though you're using leftovers, it's still important to use fresh ingredients to complement them. This will help to brighten up the flavors and make your dish more enjoyable.
  • Don't overcook your leftovers: When reheating leftovers, be careful not to overcook them. This can make them tough and dry.
  • Store leftovers properly: Once you've finished cooking, store your leftovers properly in airtight containers in the refrigerator or freezer. This will help to keep them fresh and prevent them from spoiling.
