In a blender

* 1 16oz can tomatoes

* 2 or 3 jalapeño peppers

* 1/4 teaspoon of salt

* 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder

* just a pinch of oregano

* 1 teaspoon of olive oil

* 2 Tablespoons of Chopped Cilantro

* 1/2 cup chopped onion

• 2 pounds cubed stew meat
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 chopped onion
• 2 minced cloves of garlic
• 6 green New Mexican roasted and peeled chiles
• 2 peeled and dice potatoes
• 3 to 4 cups water
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup of celery
• 1 can of corn (2 if desired)

Directions

1. Place the meat in a skillet and brown it in the oil, remove the meat and place it in a stock pot.
2. Put the onions in the skillet, and sauté until they are browned.
3. Add the garlic and cook for an additional couple of minutes.
4. Remove them from the skillet and add to the meat.
5. Add all the remaining ingredients, and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.

Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 2 tablespoons (30 mL) milk
• 1 medium red onion, chopped
• 1 medium green chili pepper, such as jalapeño, seeded and chopped
• salt and black pepper, to taste
• Serve with hot sauce, such as Tabasco sauce
• butter, margarine, or cooking spray, for frying pan

Directions

1. Chop the onion and chili. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, add the milk, and beat until well combined.
2. Place a large frying pan over medium heat, add the butter, margarine, or cooking spray, and allow to melt. Add the onions, chili pepper, and sauté for 2-4 minutes.
3. Add the eggs to the pan, and allow to cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until they just begin to set. Turn the heat up to high, and begin scrambling the eggs by scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula and folding the cooked egg into the egg mixture.
4. When the eggs are still moist, but mostly cooked, remove from the fire and plate.
5. Serve while still hot.

Tips

• To adjust the spicyness, use more or fewer chili peppers, or use types varying levels of heat.
• The chilis are seeded because of the intense heat in the seeds, where the majority of the capsaicin is. The seeds can be left in, but the scramble will be much hotter.
• Be sure to scrape the entire bottom of the pan, as well as the sides. Otherwise, those areas where the egg is not scraped will burn.
• Carryover heat will continue to cook the eggs, so they should be removed from the fire while still slightly underdone, otherwise they will be over cooked.
