Rustic Mexican Beef Pie
Ground beef baked in a flaky homemade crust infused with spice and a blend of smoky, tangy flavors. Uses a yogurt-based dough for tenderness balanced with cold butter pieces to reach flaky texture. Savory base with celery, onion, jalapeño softened slowly, then browned meat layered with chili spices, beef broth, and fresh tomatoes reduced down for a thick filling. Final touch of melting Monterey Jack cheese; option for smoky chipotle sauce instead of chili for deeper heat. Partially blind-baked crust avoids sogginess. Can freeze filling after cooking for quick future meals.
Chorizo Breakfast Burrito
Chopped chorizo sausage browned with scallions and diced serrano pepper. Eggs beaten with cream replace milk. Tortillas buttered with olive oil then crisped. Cheddar swapped for Monterey Jack cheese melted on warm tortillas. Garnished with fresh avocado cubes and cilantro. Rolled tightly with tomato salsa and sour cream for serving. Savory, spicy, quick prep with slight roasting for depth. Cooking times adjusted slightly to balance flavors and textures. Serves four hungry eaters.
