This was what I threw together for lunch today. It just makes one "sombrero", so it's ideal for lunch. Full recipe and instructions are here:
http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2011/1...eggys-sombrero/


INGREDIENTS:

6 oz. raw ground beef patty (cooks out to about 5 oz.)

2 T. refried beans (I used canned)

¼ c. tomatoes and green chilies, drained solids only (Rotel or any no-sugar added brand is OK)

2 slices deluxe American cheese (cut into circles, saving corners also for use here)

½ jalapeno pepper, tip left in-tact, the rest chopped fine

1 corn tortilla (you will only be using ½ of it however)

Bit of chopped cilantro (optional)

DIRECTIONS: Cook meat patty in a skillet until fully cooked an place on an oven-roof plate. Spread 1 T. refried beans evenly on the top. Then spoon 2 T. of the drained tomato/chile mixture. Next lay half the cheese corners in the center and put one circle of cheese on top. Sprinkle with half the chopped jalapeno and if using, half your cilantro. Next trim about 5/8″ off all the way around the outer part of the corn tortilla. discard the edge you trimmed off and place the small tortilla circle on the stack next. Spread with the remaining tablespoon of refried beans. Next spoon on the rest of the drained tomato/chile mixture. Now lay the remaining cheese corners in the center and top with the second cheese circle. Spoon on the remaining chopped jalapeno pepper and nestle the pepper tip right in the center! If in a hurry, microwave covered for 2-3 minutes at about 80% power. Or if time permits, pop into a preheated 350º oven for about 15 minutes so the sombrero hat brim will turn up. Optional garnish: a sprig of cilantro and more jalapenos for those that like to spice things up a bit more.

Sorry, that should have been Peggy's "Sombrero" in the topic title.

Man, how embarrassing. I must have been sleepwalking when I posted this recipe!! I cooked these two recipes both on the same day, so I know how it happened. I've got the wrong pic there. Here's the Sombrero pic:

Buttoni,will you adopt me ,please,lol

LOL You might change your mind when you see how sleepy I can be sometimes in the morning. Can't believe I not only POSTED the wrong pic, but did even NOTICE that the day I did it! Some days I think I'm TOTALLY losing it. Can I call this blooper a senior moment? LOLOLOL

Maybe an admin or moderator here is really Scotty, he'll see this dufus pic error, and delete the pic in the first post and "beam the bottom pic up" to the top post. LOL

But if you can handle my morning sleepies, SURE, gracieJean. Come on down to Texas! LOL
