1 (10-ounce) can refried beans
1 teaspoon sour cream
6 jumbo eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chives, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion minced
1 clove garlic minced
1 tablespoon minced poblano pepper
5 (6-inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Colby cheese
Salsa, for topping
Sour cream, for topping

Directions

In a small bowl add refried beans and sour cream. Mix together and place in microwave for 2 minutes.

Add 6 eggs and a dash of salt and pepper another bowl. Whip for 1 minute and add chives.

In a large saute pan over medium high heat, add oil. Add meat and brown until cooked, approximately 6 minutes. Add onions, garlic and pepper and saute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

In a saute pan, add oil. Pour about 2-ounces of egg into pan. With a rubber spatula, flip eggs to cook other side. Repeat with remaining egg.

Great Dish - Even for the Non-Mexican Food Lover!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had this for dinner last night and everyone loved it - even me - and I'm not crazy about Mexican food. The only thing I... left out was the poblano pepper, because 1. it's too spicy for me, and 2. I didn't want to buy a whole one just to use 1 tablespoon for the recipe. I wish I had thought of adding sour cream to refried beans myself years ago - it makes such a difference! The smallest can I could find was 16 oz (not 10 oz per the recipe), so I added 2 tablespoons of sour cream, and my family ate all the refried beans. The only leftovers I had was a small amount of the beef mixture (fed my family of four plus one of my son's friends). I did alter the recipe a little bit to suit my family's tastes: I sauteed the onions and garlic in butter first and then added the ground beef. Then I seasoned with steak seasoning and poultry rub (w/o the poblano, the meat needed to have some flavor added to it). Finally, I made the eggs over easy (per my husband's specific request) to put on top of the burrito instead of scrambling it. I ate my egg separately to keep the mess factor down, but it did taste good. After taking a poll, this will be part of the dinner rotation in our house from now on.Read more

Easy and Fulfilling
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy and tasted great. I don't cook a lot, but this recipe was definitely in my comfort zone. I did not have... to buy anything that was not already in my kitchen. My family loved it and has requested this meal again. Please disregard Marie of CT's comments - she is clearly biased against Aaron. If you do not like the way he speaks or his recipes, simply do not watch the show. Let's not make this a "bashing" site in which we trade "jabs" - most browsers simply just want to learn about your experience/response to attempting to prepare this dish at home, not your unsolicited opinion of his communication skills. I think he makes the people who are intimidated by the kitchen feel comfortable and he prepares ?real? meals that the ?average? person can create at home, which is the point of his show ? mission accomplished!Read more

Great Burrito
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was such an easy recipe to follow with great tasting results. To Marie of CT....learn how to follow recipes, maybe then... the turnout will be decent. Aaron is one of the best new chefs out there. He has some great recipes and he is funny. Makes it fun to watch. Unless you can do better and actually be on Food Network yourself, stop being a Bioch..(and trust me that is not an error in my grammar)!Read more

This Recipe Was Awesome.......
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just watched your show and was about to think of something for dinner and thought, shoot lets try this. My husband helped... me and we both loved it so much. We even thought if you didn't have the tortillas you could double the egg mixture and have a two egg omelette. I guess you can always play with a recipe, but you honestly don't have to change a thing to yours. I can't wait to try all your other recipes. Thank you so much, Valerie Carlton, OregonRead more

I can't believe this is on Food Network
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Absolutely disgusting. At least he didn't use a prepackaged frozen burrito like he did in his audition tape for the Next... Food Network Star. As if the recipe isn't bad enough, can he PLEASE stop putting his hands all over everything while he's cooking? They do make spoons and spatulas! Feel free to take some grammar lessons too. Read more
