A Mexican Breakfast Kuno
T'is one of those days when I'm tired of feasting on the usual Filipino breakfast fare of chorizo fried eggs and garlic rice.
Today, I woke up wanting to eat something off beat. So like a scavenger looking for useful bits and pieces in a dump(my fridge), I was able salvage enough ingredients to come up with my version of a Mexicano breakfast. There were some left over tortilla shells, half a can of refried beans, some tomato salsa I made a few days ago, and a small bunch of cilantro leaves that are about to wilt.
What I did for my breakfast creation was to layer the tortillas with a healthy dab of refried beans, the salsa, showered it with thinly sliced white onions and dotted the developing landscape with sliced Vienna sausages. Not satisfied with my layers, I added a topping of scrambled eggs still moist from the pan, garnished it with finely chopped cilantro and covered it with shredded Monterrey Jack cheese. I then baked them in a 375 degree oven until the tortillas became crisp.
Know what? The tortilla pizza drizzled with a dash of Tabasco was perfect with a big hot mug of dark roasted coffee. Nice way to start a Saturday morning. Ooh la la.
A! you're back! i'll definitely do this for father's day breakfast...or brunch..ei! happy father's day!

Wow, thats different! Just wondering if the eggs stayed moist after you baked the whole thing.

maya,
the eggs do dry up a bit when you bake it. so its best if you cover the top with a lot of cheese and drizzle with olive oil.
