    Yes! I used some of my salsa on eggs too.

    Nicely done & great idea about tortilla. 

    Thank you. There is only one or two Mexican breakfast spots where I live so we try to do it as best we can. A good chilaquiles is $20+. I buy more tortillas than bread. You can basically stuff anything into it. Corn, flour, whole wheat, carb balance, whatever, it always tastes better than bread. I keep two Ball jars with sweet pickled Jalapenos and lime pickled red onion at all times. Not the same level as your canning but damn good with almost anything.
    I complain about the lack of good/proper Mexican food places here in NY.  NPR just did a special on the radio about it but I missed it.  Everything is Mole sauce.  I don't think I ever had mole sauce while I lived in cali, lol.

    Did some long hots this weekend too...with a tahini yogurt.  Will post a picture later.
    How did you make it with the yogurt?


    Did garlic, tahini, yogurt and lemon and spread it below long hots. Was really good

    Might have to grab a roast pork or something along those lines for lunch.

    I never even pretended to make mole. But why cant I cannot get a decent breakfast taco? Huevos rancheros? Migas? Chilaquiles? I just do not have options up here. But if you want a killer BEC or an Italian sub, there are many.

    Queens has some decent places. (Also some good taco joints in Spanish Harlem.)
    This guy's list is pretty good,

    I would actually try 2 of those places.  The problem we have here on the island is they have south Americans trying to pull off being Mexican.  You can tell the difference.

    I am definitely down to try those spots @eddiecTY!

    Ah, sorry. Thought you were in the city.
    Now I get the BEC/Italian Combo reference. I grew up outside of NYC, and yeah, BEC's and combos are kick-ass, but the generic Mexican restaurants are not.

    All good! We moved up here to get away from the city, but we miss the food so much.

    Yeah, when I left Manhattan to move to Ireland, the food thing was a major issue for me. Probably the reason I really got into cooking- I just couldn't get the quality of food I was used to. 

    However, the food scene in Ireland has changed a lot since I moved here. We had two restaurants with Michelin stars (one closed during Covid), which is pretty good for a small town.

    On my quest to find that piece on Mexican food in the city on NPR I uncovered a story about a white guy from Oklahoma that Kills it in the Mexican restaurant business and is given shit by a few people and others ran with it a few years back. Chefs name is Rick Bayless.  I think they don't bother him anymore.

    Dude sounds legit though.

    True. Will hit some more now. Had a rib bone. Threw that in With the beans some H2O. Crumbled chipotles. Tomatoes from the garden.  Cracked a few eggs and let her go. Can't replicate that. Unique every time.
