Egg Burritos
I scrambled 5 doz eggs + 6 small cartons of egg beaters for the burritos. I had some eggs left over so you could go down to 4 cartons of the egg beaters. We added 2-3 bunches of diced green onions and 16 oz. of crumbled pre-cooked bacon (Costco), salt and pepper. I cooked the eggs in a large non stick turkey roaster on low heat. It took about 30 minutes to get it totally cooked. We bought the uncooked tortilla's at Costco. Easy and fast to cook, we ended up almost cooking them in real time as the people walked through the line. I wanted to make sure I had enough food, so I planned on 2 burritos per person. I would maybe plan on 1.5 instead. We had many return for a second burrito but not everyone.
Toppings for the burritos- sour cream 1-2 16 oz, mango salsa- 1 jar 48oz. We used about 12 ounces of it. Pace Picante Salsa- 12 oz. We also had Tabasco. We made guacamole from 5 large avocado's and 2 packets of McCormick Guacamole seasoning. I also added the juice of 2 small limes. We went through a 1.5 lb. bag of Mexican cheese. I have also mixed 1/1 of Pace Picante Sauce and Harry & David pepper and onion relish. This is a yummy sweet/spicy combination.

Potato Casserole- recipe is on this blog. Very Yummy! We made 2 9x13 pans of this casserole and it was all gone!

Fresh Fruit- We served grapes 4 lbs, fresh pineapple (2) and 3 lbs strawberries

Churro's we bought and heated in oven. 1 per person. Better served warm. There are churro's that you have to deep fry but I didn't have the equipment, and the timing wouldn't have worked out as well.

Mexican Hot Chocolate- recipe is on this blog. Very good! 1 cup (recipe) per person. We mixed it right in the cup that we were giving them. That way we did not make more than was needed. In making this I went through a 47oz. container of Nestle Rich Chocolate cocoa mix. I also used the Saigon cinnamon, which is very flavorful.

Milk and Juice- We went through 2 gallons of juice and 2 gallons of milk
