Hehehe! I can relate to those cooks! I had two guys come in one morning right about 5 a.m. and they wanted what they called a Texas Omelet. As it turned out, that was a concoction of hamburger, cheese, onions, green pepper, and hot peppers wrapped in 4 eggs and smothered with chili. Boo, hiss. I said I was game and would give it my best try. They said, hot, hot, hot and they teased me about not being able to make it as hot as they could get it in Texas.
I asked them if they were sure they wanted it hot, hot, hot and when they agreed, I set out to make it. In my part of the country, hot, hot, hot is not the norm, but I had Jalapenos and crushed red pepper flakes. I thinned my very thick, homemade chili with Jalapeno juice and added the peppers to the mix and heated in the microwave. I browned the meat with Jalapenos, onions, and green peppers, and the red pepper flakes. I had Hot Pepper Cheese (Jalapeno) and cheddar. I made two huge omelets loaded with all this stuff and more jalapenos and crushed red pepper and covered the whole thing with a deep layer of chili. Boo, hiss! They ate every bite of it and left a huge tip.
I would have hated to have been trapped in that car a few miles down the road!
Elaine, too
