For today's breakfast, I decided to head down south to Mexico and make chilaquiles. Chilaquiles are amazing. They are basically tortilla strips or chips cooked in salsa and topped with awesome things. Super savory dish and fantabulous!
I don't consider myself a food snob in the least, but I'll be damned if anybody is putting tofu in my chilaquiles! As far as I'm concerned, adding tofu (or eggs) just makes the dish migas. Migas are good and all, but there is something absolutely sensational about eating tortilla chips for breakfast! Woo!

My favorite part about breakfast week is that I realize how much other cultures just eat whatever they eat for lunch. Americans are very weird in how much we have ideas of what constitutes breakfasts. I think of more sweet things than savory, so I like trying more savory things as my first meal of the day.
Tomorrow, I'll be doing that Caribbean post I talked about. I also plan to catch up on blogs and comments. What I've learned about this MoFo is that it's way harder to keep up when you work and go to school. However, I am determined to make 31 posts, even if I have to post three times a day.
MoFo onwaaaaaard!

Wow, Mo! I want that plate of food like NOW! Thanks for the link, I'm going to have try the recipe out this week :D

That looks like an amaaaaazing breakfast! I know whatcha mean about the narrow mindedness of some places breakfast choices, I think the UK's definitely the worst for that!
That looks super yummy. I agree, we don't eat enough tortilla chips for breakfast!
Those chilaquiles look fab! I'm totally saving the recipe. My sister and I once got into this huge argument where she was trying to say chilaquiles and migas are the same thing. I totally want to send her this.
That looks delicious! Lately, I've been breaking out of the breakfast norm by having whatever savory leftovers are in my fridge.
I loved chilaquiles before becoming vegan. I haven't thought about them in years figuring I'd never have them again. This recipe looks great can't wait to try it.
I had no idea what chilaquiles were, but I wholeheartedly approve! And I totally agree about designated breakfast foods being weird (yes, I eat leftover lasagne for breakfast).
Breakfast for dinner, dinner for breakfast. This works any old time.
i love me a loaded savory breakfast. that looks delicious!
Wow, that looks like one tasty breakfast! I'm not huge on the typical "bowl of cereal and other sweet stuff" type of American breakfast. I love to start my day with savory stuff.
Anyway, thanks for reminding me about this great recipe.
