Chillin' with chilaquiles

🇲🇽  hola! 
I was inspired by my cousin's dinner post 😋 ... a Mexican egg breakfast dish by my cig (cousin-in-grace).


Looks like Chimichanga? not quite. Nachos? But not really. 

Meet Chilaquiles.  

A breakfast dish in Mexico (🔉 chee-La-kee-les).

Eggs, tortilla chips, Chili sauce. Chilaquiles, where've u been all my life?  

Since I don't have tomatillos and jalapeno, I opted for the Rosso red version... 
Improvised with tomato paste, tomato sauce, red chili flakes, & singles cheese. 
Added cabbage shreds & cucumber bits for a heartier meal for my hungry tribe.

I can imagine the authentic version will zoom me out of this world and then  drop me straight in vibrant Mexico. 

But, until that Cancun trip...
 ¡Tú puedes! it's fun to make things work with what's on hand.  
Getting creative in the kitchen is, what's the word for it?  Revitalizing! 🔋

Tip for next version:

- Poached egg requires egg poaching skills.  Which I do not have just yet.

So, fried eggs it should be next time... nice and runny...

- do the salsa verde style too, with 🥑.

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗  Ingredients  3 potatoes, boiled &  roughly  mashed  1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn,  1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗  Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
