I took the advice of a certain person and sauté the onions and garlic then I added the meat and folded the egg in once I drained the meat, assembled the taco and then added the cheese, put it in the microwave and voila it was HEAVEN!!!!

Two things I would change on this recipe:

1. Saute the onions and garlic with the meat. It makes it blend better without getting crunchy chunks of onion in your burrito, unless you like that.

2. Just fold in the egg with the meat at the end of the cooking stage. Wrapping the egg around it and nuking it for 3 minutes would turn that egg and burrito into a rubbery, burned up mess! Put the cheese in the burrito and nuke it for 1 minute. If your microwave can't melt cheese in 1 minute, it's broken!

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.

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!

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!

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,
