Tuscan Breakfast Burritos
"From Shape Magazine: This recipe, adapted from A Real American Breakfast by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison (William Morrow), will give you the energy to get through even the busiest morning. Providing an extra punch of protein (along with eggs) is lean machaca, a beef filling borrowed from Mexican ranchers."

directions
- To make machaca, heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add onion and pepper and sauté about 3 minutes. Stir in meat and sauté until meat is brown and crispy but not burned. (Scrape meat from the bottom occasionally.) Stir in broth and 1/2 cup salsa and add cinnamon stick. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce to medium and cook until most of the liquid evaporates but the meat remains moist. Salt to taste. Remove cinnamon stick. Mix eggs into machaca and continue cooking 1 or 2 minutes until eggs are just firm. Spoon 1/6 mixture onto each tortilla and roll up. Place on a plate and spoon remaining salsa over each burro.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hello, I am a married, no little ones, but great DH and 3 cats. Grew up in rural Nebraska with a family who loves to cook and eat. Trying to be healthier these days and lose some lbs. I do a lot of batch cooking (not quite OAMC). I am trying to get my sister to do it, she has 4 boys (14 to 6) very active and a husband. I love to collect recipes and cookbooks.
I have decided that I am going to try to a new recipe each week. That will be 52 new things done this year.
MY RATING SYSTEM:
5 stars: recipes that I or DH personally like . These will include recipes that I may have added or subtracted ingredients for personal tastes.
4 stars: recipes that I or DH thought was good & would eat if served to us, probably will not make again without changes.
3 stars: This is a dish that looks good but the flavor just is not there. More than likely will not make again
2 stars: Not our tastes at all. Not to say this recipe is not good just not for us.
1 star: I think that the we would have to end up in the hospital to give a 1 star rating, but will see how it goes.
