a breakfast taco with tomatillo salsa

I rarely get excited over breakfast, but eggs are something I can eat any time of the day. This is my take on the breakfast burritos my sister procures for us whenever I visit her in Orange County. I don't know where she goes to get them (because I like to sleep in), but my first image upon awakening in California is one of her entering through the front door in pastel leisure-sweats with her jumble of keys, oversized handbag, and a sack containing two warm, foil-wrapped cylinders of soft, scrambled egg with extra sides of guacamole and salsa verde. It's how I know she's glad to see me. (That would be Day 1.) 

Fresh Tomatillo Salsa

This is a quick, tangy salsa that doesn't require roasting. Adapted from Mexican Everyday by Rick Bayless. Makes about 1 cup.

• 4 medium tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and quartered
• 1 large garlic clove
• 2 serrano chilies or 1 jalapeño, stemmed and roughly chopped
• 1/2 - 2/3 cup cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender with 1/4 cup of water.

Breakfast Taco

Heat the fresh tomatillo salsa in a small pan for a minute or two until color deepens. Heat a corn tortilla in a toaster oven or in the same pan you're using to scramble the eggs. (I used to use flour, as pictured, but corn is a healthier choice and now I like the taste and texture better than that of a flour tortilla.)

Scramble 2 eggs in a nonstick pan with some oil. For moist, tender curds, cook eggs slowly over low heat. Throw in a couple tablespoons of the tomatillo salsa and mix into eggs. Salt to taste. Place eggs on tortilla and garnish with more salsa, red onion, and cilantro.

Yum..I just so happen to have a few tomatillos from the farmer in my fridge. I will be doing this! And thanks for linking me to Apartment Therapy! That was you, wasn't it?

One of the hardest thing about moving West is all of the Mexican food. Those trucks parked outside are the worst. But maybe I could change my East Coast state of mine with that delicious looking burrito fresh with red onions.

I used to spend a lot of time arguing for these convictions, but I have reached the point where I will no longer do that. These are my convictions and I choose to build on them rather than argue for them. – it’s worth spending a few dollars more to have the knowledge that your tatt is going to be good.
