Breakfast craving

So first off, let me say that this post has nothing to do with the oven or 2 am.  I haven't been baking lately because i have a VERY messy kitchen and a ton of dirty dishes that I will be washing today.
Yeah, those are dirty dishes and spices I havent put away.  I actually just got them so that I could try my hand at homemade soyrizo.

Now on to breakfast

I watched a movie called Breakfast Special this morning and I was inspired to go out to breakfast.  I started searching on Yelp.com to figure out someplace new to try but soon realized that I didnt really feel like eating breakfast alone, in public.  So I decided to make my own breakfast and what I wanted was chilaquiles.
I knew that I had a ton of corn tortillas (I think it is the law in S.P. to only sell corn tortillas in packs of 50 or more) so I could make my own chips and I had leftover red chile sauce that I had frozen a couple weeks ago. So I wandered into my mess of a kitchen, donned my new apron and got to work.

RECIPE:

4 corn tortillas
4 icecubes of frozen red chile sauce
a spoonful of tomato paste - to cut down the spice a little
shredded jack cheese

Cut the tortillas into wedges  8 per tortilla.  Fry them up in some hot oil.  When crispy and browned, throw 'em on a papertowel covered plate and salt them right away.
Add the ice cubes of sauce, a spoonful of tomato paste and a little bit of water (so the tomato paste doesnt burn before the ice cubes melt) and cook it down for a few minutes.
Add the tortilla chips back into the pan. Toss to coat. Plate and then top with cheese.

I also made scrambled eggs (with soyrizo in them) to put on the side.

RESULT:

  
These were so good!  They really hit the spot and because they were so quick and easy I will be adding them to my standard repertoire of cooking.  You should go make them now.  You wont be sorry.
