You could make breakfast burritos, stuffed with:
- diced, fried potatoes (I like to add a couple minced cloves of garlic and about a 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds to the potatoes while frying)
- scrambled eggs with diced jalapeno and onion
- refried beans
- diced tomato
- cilantro greens
- corn (de-cobbed)
On Saturday morning, we wanted a change of pace for breakfast so we made some Spaghetti alla carbonara. No corn in this recipe, but its base ingredients are breakfast foods. It only takes about 10-15 minutes to prepare, and it's delicious.
- Spaghetti or linguine for two servings
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for spaghetti boiling)
- 6 strips of bacon, chopped into 1/2" pieces
- 2 - 3 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp basil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup white wine (optional)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
- salt
In a medium pot, boil water and add a tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt for the spaghetti. Follow package directions for cooking.
Fry the bacon in a large skillet on med-high.
While noodles and bacon are cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl and mix in the wine.
As the bacon starts to get a little crispy, add pepper and onions. When the onions start to turn translucent, add the garlic, oregano and basil. Turn heat to low, and stir occasionally so the garlic doesn't burn.
When the spaghetti is done, drain it and return it to its pot. Set over very low heat. While the noodles are still hot, stir in the bacon mixture, including the drippings. Gradually stir in the egg mixture and grated cheese. Toss well and serve immediately.
Serves 2.
