New Mexico Breakfast Burritos

I love make-ahead breakfasts. New Mexico Breakfast Burritos fill the bill. They are a staple in New Mexico. They’re even in fast food joints!

 

But these are much better than what you’d get in one of those joints!!!

All of the flavors are good together and it is a very filling breakfast. Fast, easy, delicious, and they’re not limited to just breakfast. They make a great lunch or a snack any time of day.

You can refrigerate the filling and use it all during the week. Just nuke it and it tastes great!

If you’re like me and for some reason just don’t like to cook in the morning these burritos are for you!

Fall off the Bone Ribs – 3-Step Easy!

The “three steps” to this 3-Step Fall off the Bone Ribs are browning the ribs, then with the sauce, and then covering with foil and forgetting about them.

 

The ingredient amounts are completely flexible and are all done to personal taste.

Don’t be afraid of the long list of directions, this is really easy.

These ribs are easy, tasty, melt in the mouth tender and… unforgettable. The first time I made these for friends there was not one piece left for me to gnaw on later.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Fall Off The Bone Ribs
Servings: 6
Calories: 395 kcal
Ingredients
  • 2 racks beef ribs or pork ribs
  • 2 teaspoons salt or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons pepper or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Season-All salt or to taste
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce your favorite kind
Instructions

  1. Generously season both sides of the ribs with salt, pepper, and Season-All.

  2. Line a cookie sheet (with a lip on all sides) with heavy-duty foil. Spray foil with cooking spray lightly.

  3. Put the ribs in 350F degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, until the meat starts to brown on both sides, flipping as needed.

  4. Brush on your favorite BBQ sauce (both sides of ribs) and put back in the 350-degree oven until the BBQ sauce starts to caramelize but not burn, approximately 20 minutes. Flip them halfway through.

  5. Once the sauce is caramelized and cooked into the meat add another good amount of sauce to the tops of the ribs. Try not to let too much sauce fall to the foil, but it's okay if some gets on it.

  6. With the top of ribs facing up, cover with a low-tented aluminum foil (tented just enough to not let it touch the tops of the ribs) and seal ALL sides TIGHTLY by curling foil under the lip or under the cookie sheet itself. The goal is to not let the steam out as it cooks.

  7. Turn the oven down to 250F. This is very important to keep the sauce from burning!

  8. Put the ribs back in at 250 degrees and set a timer for approx 2 hours.

  9. After 2 hours check the ribs by poking with a fork. The meat should easily come off the bone. If not return to the oven and check again in 20 minutes.

 

Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Tips and Tidbits For These Fall Off The Bones Ribs

There is a similar recipe, but it is the opposite cooking-wise.

The ribs are seasoned with your favorite rub, placed on thick sweet onion slices, sealed in foil and steamed at 275 for 2 hours.

Then the foil is removed, the sauce is added and the ribs are browned at 350 for 20 minutes each side. Allow them to rest covered on the board for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Melt in Your Mouth Oven Barbecue Ribs

This Oven Barbecue Ribs Recipe is my go to recipe when the weather doesn’t cooperate for an outside BBQ. It’s fairly easy and the results are excellent!

Oven Barbecue Ribs

I love to BBQ and ribs are one of my favorites. Just about every weekend I fire up the grill for something. Occasionally, however, the weather doesn’t cooperate.

On those occasions I turn to my oven. This is my go-to oven barbecue ribs recipe!

It’s one of those recipes that you almost have to try in order to believe.

Rib meat is fairly tough, and it needs a long time to break down and become tender. The oven is actually an ideal environment for this kind of slow and steady cooking.

Lifting the ribs above the baking sheet on a rack also lets the heat circulate on all sides. After a few hours, the meat is nearly falling off the bone and you’ll be licking BBQ sauce off your fingers.

Melt in Your Mouth Oven Barbecue Ribs
Ingredients
  • 4 to 5 pounds spare ribs or baby back ribs
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1 cup spice rub like this one
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce store-bought or homemade
Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a cooling rack on top. Lay the ribs on top of the rack in a single layer. This arrangement allows for heat circulation on all sides of the ribs.
  2. Mix the mustard and the liquid smoke and brush the ribs on both sides. Sprinkle the ribs with the dry rub and pat gently to make sure the rub adheres to the rib meat.
  3. Note: This step can be done the day ahead for a deeper flavor. Wrap the seasoned ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  4. Heat the broiler and place an oven rack a few inches below the heating element. Make sure the meaty side of the ribs is facing up. Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes, until the sugar in the dry rub is bubbling and the ribs are evenly browned.
  5. Set the oven to 300°F. Move the ribs to an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours for spare ribs or 1 1/2 to 2 hours for baby back ribs. Halfway through cooking, cover the ribs with aluminum foil to protect them from drying out.
  6. About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, brush the ribs with barbecue sauce, re-cover with foil, and finish cooking.
  7. The ribs are done when a knife slides easily into the thickest part of the rib meat. Let them rest, covered, for about 10 minutes, and then cut between the bones to separate the individual ribs.
  8. Serve immediately with extra barbecue sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!

Pork Loin Chops With Taters and Stuffing

Pork Loin Chops With Taters and Stuffing is a complete meal in one dish! Prep time is minimal. This is also a very economical dish.

 

Especially if you keep your eyes open for pork loin sales!

My grocery on a regular basis has whole pork loins on sale for less than $2 a pound. I always buy one and cut it into chops and vacuum seal for the freezer.

I usually get 12 or 13 chops per loin so one will last me a minimum of two months!

Pork loin chops are a staple at my house. I have them at least 3 times a month and sometimes as many as 5. Today’s pork is an excellent protein that’s low in fat.

Quick and Easy Ham Tetrazinni

This Quick and Easy Ham Tetrazinni really is quick and ideal for family weeknight meals. As quick as the pasta cooks the dish is ready.

 

Add a salad and some crusty bread and you’re good to go!

Believe it or not, tetrazzini is not an Italian dish. It was created in the U.S.

Tetrazzini is often identified by the protein component; like turkey tetrazzini or chicken tetrazzini or in this case ham tetrazzini.

It’s like Cajun gumbo in that respect. Anything can be made into gumbo and anything can be made into a tetrazzini!

This version uses cooked diced ham and the sauce is mixed in with the pasta instead of being served over the top.
