So last night, for another tasty birthday dinner (Hey, I got A LOT of coupons for free meals, ok), we went to Chevy's for some Mexican fare. My meal was free and I got a sombrero! Everyone should go to Chevys for their birthday, complete with dinner and a party hat! It shall be useful for cinco de drinko next year. We all got the 3 course dinner (soup/salad, entree, and dessert!) and mojitos. YUM. After 2 bowls of chips and tortilla soup, there was no way I could finish my tamales and have room for fried ice cream, so I thought to myself, "perfect breakfast option!"
I love tamales. Love. Heart. Yum. I spent a great deal of time searching for the perfect tamale. My love of tamales came about 2 years ago, when I was visiting my aunt in North Carolina, and we ate a TON of homemade tamales. They were phenom, and that's when I put eggs on them for breakfast. I was pleased, and decided that tamales were the way to go. So I started checking out the local taco joints for the best tamale. Some were too dry. Some were too spicy. Some weren't bad, and some weren't good. I came across the winning tamale about a year ago, when a friend opened his own restaurant. Rancho Viejo has the best tamales. The owner, Angel, makes them fresh and tops them with cheese and sauce. Happiness. :)
Chevy's didn't do too bad with their tamales. The meat was tender and not dry. The masa was flavorful. The sauce was pretty good. I knew that topped with eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and salsa, I would have a winning breakfast. Which I certainly did. I love it when everything surrounding my eggs is so flavorful that I don't need to add salt. I hate adding salt. I did NOT have to add salt. :D
Off to work kids! Have a great day.
