It's you're lucky day. Besides the fact that it's Friday, you are about to get a little glimpse into the wonderful world of authentic breakfast tacos.
One of the things I miss most about living in Texas is the cheap breakfast tacos.
What really makes these tacos are the potatoes. Even though it takes longer to peel, chop, and fry the potatoes, don't skip this step. These "papas" are prepared the way my abuelita used to make them for me. Sometimes I'd just eat a big bowl of my grandmas potatoes for breakfast. Is it healthy? No. Is it delicious? Yes.
Here are your ingredients and instructions for making life changing breakfast tacos.
2 russet potatoes, peeled and diced medium
olive oil
1 lb chorizo sausage
5 eggs
1/3 cup milk
corn tortillas
salt & pepper to taste
queso fresco (optional)
avocado (optional)
salsa (optional)
First, fry up your potatoes in a 12-inch non-stick skillet with olive oil. I'd start with a couple of tablespoons and then add more as needed. In case you're wondering what the potatoes should look like, here you go:
Start cooking the potatoes on medium-high heat and then reduce to medium low heat once they turn a nice golden brown color and cook a few minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. It should take 10-12 minutes for them to be soft enough. Set them aside in a large bowl.
Next, use the same skillet to cook the chorizo. Break it up into bite-sized pieces until cooked through.
While the chorizo cooks, whisk together the eggs, milk, and more salt and pepper. Once the chorizo is cooked add it to the bowl with the potatoes.
Don't worry about cleaning out the skillet, add the eggs and scramble. Finally, add the cooked eggs to the bowl with the potatoes and chorizo and mix everything together.
So simple yet so good.
Put the potato, chorizo, egg mixture in a corn tortilla and add some yummy toppings. I like queso fresco, a little salsa, and avocado.
¡Provecho!
Happy Friday morning! I am coming off of a busy couple of weeks and this weekend won't be any different, but the sun is shining and it feels like summer is just around the corner, so I'm going to take a deep breath and enjoy all of the blessings in my life in the midst of the busyness.
Here's a round up of some interesting content from around the web this week. There's some good stuff here from some job search tips, to beautiful drawings that portray everyday love. And... Hugh Jackman + fair trade coffee documentary. Need I say more?
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Out-of-the-Box Approaches to Job Searching
If there's anything this past year has taught me it's that when it comes to finding a job it's not enough to work hard and know the right people anymore, you have to figure out a way to stand out from all of the other people jockeying for the job you want.
Here are some creative ideas on how to do that, like coming up with a new approach to a resume or coming across as inventive, but not to the point of being annoying. Scan the list and see if you can take something away. Even if you are currently working, it never hurts to be prepared for a sudden change in direction.
Hugh Jackman Stresses the Importance of Fair Trade Coffee in New Documentary
Hugh Jackman is moving beyond his super hero role on the big screen and is moving into documentary territory with a new project he and his wife, Deborra Lee Furnass, are involved in called Dukale's Dream.
The documentary sheds light on the daily struggles of Ethopian coffee farmers as Hugh and Deborra travel to rural Africa to see what the farmers have to go through to make enough money on their crops to survive.
The documentary touches on important issues like the cycle of poverty, food security, and fair wages. You aren't going to want to miss it! Despite Hugh's often brash Wolverine-like attitude on screen, we see a softer side of the actor in this film set to release in select theaters on June 5th and VOD on July 14th.
