Sausage and Potatoes Corn Tortilla Tacos/Burritos

http://www.dreamviews.com/f16/post-p...ml#post1952565

1. Buy some Sausage Crumbles, or just chop them up into small bits.

2. Corn/Wheat/White Flour Tortillas, Green Onions, Black Pepper, Garlic and Onion Powder.

2.5. Optional: MSG, but it's not necessary, I only use like a small pinch

3. Potatoes (Red Potatoes are a little less starchy I think?)

Cooking:

1. Get a small frying pan or skillet (pan is better since nothing will fly off the edge if you want to flip contents). Set the oil at a fairly high heat, but not too much, depending on the scale of your stove that you cook on. Just enough so that it won't be popping like crazy if you add something in.

Let it heat for about 1-2 minutes, just the oil,

2. Gather your cut up green onions (like enough to hold with your fingers), and spread them out, and after 30-1 minutes, they should get a little cooked. Then you add in the Sausage Bits/Crumbles in. Now you add in your fine cut potatoes, and make sure to let them simmer real good for 2-3 minutes.

3. In the mean time while it's cooking, get your Black pepper, Onion Power, and Garlic Power, (optional: a pinch of MSG as well). I set the ratio for my Onion and Garlic Powder 2:1, because the Garlic is clearly stronger (at least for me). Then dab some Black pepper in, and the MSG if you want. It doesn't matter how much you put in there. Just make sure that when you do add them, spread it out evenly.

4. Double Check if you have frozen halves of the Sausages, because some chunks might be stuck between each other.

5. Get out a plate or something to contain it in, and get a paper towel, so that when you put the contents on top, it'll soak some of the oil you used. You can keep the oil on the pan if you're mixing other stuff, but that's up to you, I don't like doing that conserving meat juice stuff.

6. Heat up your Corn Tortillas, add some salt around the potatoes and Sausages, but I doubt you'll need that, only if you want it to be more salty than it already is.

7. If you're still concerned about things being heated properly, heat the contents you have in the Microwave.

8. Optional: Add Shredded Cheese/Chipotle Sauce/Habanero Pepper,Whatever side things you like to add on to things.

9. Serving size depends, I usually eat 4 since Corn Tortillas are sold in small sizes. But if it was Wheat Tortillas or White flour (I hate white flour ones), I would just use two as a serving size for one.

10. Eat and enjoy.

It's not much, but it's something useful for me if I want to take a grab bite for college. At most, it'll probably take me 10-15 minutes in total preparing it, which is useful, especially if I only have an hour or so before I head to my classes.

I still need to practice making this, but I'll get there.

Looks delicious Link!

I have to say though, the thing holding the tortilla looks like a hand, but the thing all the way to the right of the pic looks like Mr. Wrinkly.

**SpaceCowboyDave** · 10-20-2012 12:28 AM

Ophelia, where do you find new your strips with fat on them like that??

All of the places around us they cut all the fat off and its a piece of crap.

**OpheliaBlue** · 10-20-2012 02:47 AM

Sprouts.

Haha, well, they got 4 Whole Foods Markets in Michigan. Also, most butchers will cut your steaks the way you want if you give them a heads up. Usually they're happy to sell you more fat/$ because it's cheaper for them.

**SpaceCowboyDave** · 10-20-2012 03:27 AM

Yea, but the steaks at Whole Foods cost $$$$$$$

I'll have to ask about that at the local meat market, never thought to do that.

**AURON** · 10-20-2012 06:54 AM

baked some pork chops, cooked sweet mashed potatoes, and had a little salad on the side, but I don't have my phone charger so no picks...also there wasn't too much contrast between the different foods.

**AURON** · 10-29-2012 05:15 AM

LOL @ that bacon ice cream AJ....before I clicked the pic, I was expecting you to just sprinkle it with bacon bits...but no...whole bacon. Way to outdo yourself.

**Kevs** · 10-31-2012 06:22 AM

Mine is it's a simple grilled tuna belly served in a sizzling plate, I just like to eat grilled foods.

**AURON** · 10-31-2012 07:53 PM

Looks good bro...keep it up.

**Chimpertainment** · 11-01-2012 02:05 AM

For AnderJ

**Linkzelda** · 11-06-2012 09:46 PM

Wow Auron, Fish Tacos. Damn, hook me up with the recipe bro.

**AURON** · 11-06-2012 11:05 PM

Tilapia
Salt
Pepper
Cumin
Garlic powder (not the effing garlic salt kind)
half of a yellow onion
Romain Lettuce
Hotsauce (preferably Wade sauce)
Avacado sauce
Chopped Peppers (jalapeno or just sweet ones if you're not Wade)
Tortillas

Preheat the oven to 400. Take a baking pan....lay down butter or whatever you want for non stick action. Salt/Pepper to your expectations dash of cumin and garlic as well. (I don't use salt at all, so I use a little more garlic and vinegar...and peppers) take the onion, cut it in slices, and place the slices all over the fish. Cut up your peppers place them all over the fish. Cover it up with foil. bake time only takes about 10-15 minutes (until they flake apart....just try to flip them at 5 and see what happens). I like to bake them for 10 minutes....take them out....flip them with a spatula, and place them back in there with the oven off for a little while (five minutes or so). Take them out chop them up (you can leave out the onions, they're just their to add flavor to the fish) add the peppers, romain, avacado, diced tomato or whatever the hell you want at that point.

Tips and warnings:
That fish is going to cook quick.
I use the spatula just in case I want to make a different dish out of the fish.
PEPPERS!
You can heat the tortilla right on the coils a bit for a better taste...just keep an eye out for them.
Peppers!

Andrej, you're just evil sometimes >.< When I see your signature I sometimes hallucinate the smell of bacon, only to be disappointed...
But damn, ally your food looks so good...

**OpheliaBlue** · 11-27-2012 07:09 PM

Those tartlettes are so cute anderj! What did you use for the shells?

**anderj101** · 11-27-2012 10:26 PM

I'm not licensed to operate a rolling pin, so I cheated and bought the pre-made shells at the store.

**OpheliaBlue** · 11-27-2012 11:19 PM

Haha a rolling pin license? Man I'm gonna get tickets.

Anyway, totally cute. I love little bite-sized foods.

I've been making some super gross looking meals. I need to step my game up so I can make an actual post again. Oh wait....I think I made chicken the other day. Not sure if I took a pic of it though.

**anderj101** · 03-05-2013 03:11 AM

Pics or it didn't happen.

I'm talking franks and beans with scrambled eggs. I'm talking omelets with greens in them. Just random shit that may taste good (don't knock it till you try it), but photographically is horrible.

**Darkmatters** · 03-07-2013 01:31 AM

Wow - Ophelia and Anderj, you guys have made me realize the importance of garnishes!! I never messed with them before, but I noticed the pic of my Creole Chicken looks awfully bland - too much tomato red. So last night I ground a little black pepper on top and sprinkled with parsley and it looks 100% better! Maybe I'll post an After pic to show the difference. Thanks for setting the bar high guys!

**anderj101** · 03-07-2013 01:52 AM

Ophie, those are hardly shrimp! I sure wish my local market had shrimp that big...

A little sprinkle of color (and flavor) makes a huge difference. Pics? Yes please!

They're gulf shrimp, u-21's. The lucky thing for me is living close enough to the gulf that we can get them big and never frozen. They're slightly sweet with a hint of ocean breeze.

Amen to that! We eat with our eyes too, so garnishes do make a big difference.
