Crispy Burrito Baskets Recipes

Steps:

• Combine refried beans, salsa, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin in a mixing bowl; stir until smooth.
• Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the bean mixture onto the center of a tortilla and smooth into a thin layer. Sprinkle with a large pinch of shredded cheese and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining bean mixture, tortillas, and cheese.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place a few burritos, seam-side down, into the skillet. Cook, turning every 30 seconds, until golden and crispy on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining burritos.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a cold, nonstick pan over medium to medium-high heat. Cook until browned, crisp, and foamy, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove to a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.
• Place cubed potatoes into the pan of bacon fat and set heat to medium. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Cook, tossing and turning occasionally, until the potatoes are browned, crispy, and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onions and peppers, and cook until they soften up a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer everything into a strainer set over a bowl to drain excess bacon fat.
• To make one breakfast burrito, place 2 strips cooked bacon back in the pan. Turn heat to medium and scatter 1/2 of the potato mixture in and around. Scatter over 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese as evenly as possible, and then pour 2 beaten eggs over top.
• Tilt the pan to make sure the egg is evenly distributed. Place a tortilla over the top and press down lightly into the rest of the ingredients. Cook just until the eggs firm up enough to flip, about 1 minute. Use a spatula to carefully, but confidently, flip everything over so the tortilla is now on the bottom. Cook until the tortilla is as browned and crispy as you like, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and transfer onto a plate. Roll into a burrito and serve with hot sauce, avocado, sour cream, and cilantro. Repeat to cook remaining burrito.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Brush oil on both sides of tortillas.
• Invert ramekin on a work surface. Center tortilla over bottom of the ramekin; gently shape tortilla down around sides. Place a double layer of aluminum foil over tortilla and press to form a bowl around the ramekin. Place right-side-up on a baking sheet. Leave about 1/2-inch of tortilla exposed above foil, so it gets browned and crispy when baked. Repeat this step with second tortilla.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove the ramekins from shells. Continue baking shells until lightly browned, about 5 more minutes.
• Carefully remove foil from around shells. Flatten foil sheets and invert shells on them. Bring foil up just around bottom of shells to protect top edge.
• Bake shells until browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Invert shells and continue baking until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch them carefully, so they don't burn.
• Transfer basket burritos to a rack to cool completely.
