It’s so easy to get caught up in the same old thing for breakfast. You’re tired, hungry and most likely short on imagination because you are still groggy. This happens so often in our house and we resort to things like toast or yogurt to start the day. But what we really need is something to wake our senses and get us going. So we have been pulling out our grandparent’s family cookbook and reviving old recipes that were once well loved and making them new again. I have to tell you, it’s been so refreshing to have something new on the plate for a change. But not just something new, it’s also nice to enjoy things that were once forgotten. We are reminded of those times long ago, vivid memories of our past that are tied to these flavors. It sparks great meal time conversation as we tell our stories relating to these recipes to our kids. It sure makes for great family time.
My family is so in love with this recipe for huevos rancheros from my grandmother. They literally made it 3 days in a row because they couldn’t get enough. My husband woke up talking about it after the first time and couldn’t wait to get cooking first thing so he could enjoy it again. Yes, it’s that delicious. I know that your family will love it too. Fried corn tortillas loaded with a kicky salsa and topped with gooey eggs, sunny side up– they are in love, and I really can’t blame them! Even my youngest is now obsessed with this spicy way to start her day.
Because we are Southern California natives, we love to add avocados to just about everything we can. So of course we added them to this dish as well. They were a scrumptious, perfect addition to this already perfect breakfast.
