Chilequiles Are My Favorite Breakfast


 

Can I just say that this was pretty much a fiesta in my mouth. Fiesta. The flavors. The colors. The fun! 
Seriously, I savored every last bite of my newest creation. 


So, this morning, I did a mental inventory of what ingredients were available in the bf's kitchen. As always, chips and pico (a staple in this house) were among my options...

Chilequiles it is! 

I used the Tostitos Hint of Jalapeno for a little extra flavor in my breakfast (like I actually needed it). I softened them up in a pan with some of the pico (and all of the juice from the pico). Then, I put them on the plate, added some horseradish havarti and some queso crumble cheese (yum!). I melted the cheese on top in the microwave for 30 seconds. I cooked up some eggs over medium (I have seriously been having problems with cooking eggs lately! They kept sticking to the pan...I'm going to go buy some PAM and see what happens. 

I put the eggs on top of the cheesy tortilla chips, diced half an avocado on top, added the rest of the pico, and as a final garnish, a small dollop of light sour cream. I also used some medium garlic salsa (like I needed more flavor). 

Let's just say I was a happy breakfaster this morning.

Top 10 Breakfast Reasons Why I Haven't Posted...

10. Leftover Indian Food (Cold)
9. Just Cheese Curds
8. Cold Chicken
7. McDonald's
6. Dunkin' Donuts
5. Leftover Greek Food (Cold)
4. Non-standard Breakfast Sausage
3. Chips and Salsa
2. Cupcakes



And the number one reason why I don't always post about my breakfast...



1. Sometimes, I skip breakfast...


I didn't yesterday or this morning though!

Yesterday was delicious Chilequiles (one of my favorite breakfast delicacies.) Tortilla chips cooked in a sauce or salsa until they're a little soft. Then, I added Portobello mushrooms, cilantro, jalapeño, tomato, and red onion. Mixed it all up, like a Mexican breakfast skillet. Then topped it with cilantro and chive farmer's Jack from Rick my favorite cheese monger at The Cheese People and a delicious egg over medium. A dollop of sour cream to cool the jalapeño heat and voile! Breakfast of JOY.

This morning's breakfast was a simple conglomerate of sun-dried tomato sausage, a few basil cheese curds from the aforementioned cheese monger, and two eggs over medium. Of course, I managed to over-cook the eggs a bit...but it worked well with the sausagy goodness of my breakfast.
