Chilaquiles


They  say breakfast is the most important meal of the day,   I believe every meal is important because it  what keeps you going but eating breakfast is very important because it sets the pace for your metabolism, so it should never be skipped.    This  dish is so
 easy to make, tasty and incredibly inexpensive and takes seconds. Chilaquilles have  many  different  forms,  but the  main  component  is shredded tortillas,  fried  till  they  are  crispy with whatever  your  in the mood  to add.   I love black  beans, full  of iron, fiber and protein. Coupled  with eggs for protein and garlic and onions for vitamin C this is  a  great way to start the day.  Beans are  inexpensive and  can  be used  as  a  main  course  a  side  dish or in this  case  a  component of  the  complete meal.  I  like  to make  the from  scratch although canned beans  are  the  exact  same  thing,  I  just think that  you  get  more  bang for your buck.  Speaking  of  bang,  beans make  you  fart.  There  is  no  way  of saying  it  nicely.  Some  people  add orange  juice,  some  soak  the  beans  extra  long but this does not actually work.  One farts due to the  sugars in beans harder to break down than most other foods, thus not absorbed into the intestinal tract as fast so it comes out as an air biscut.


I make a large quantity of beans in advance and keep a pot in the fridge to add  to dishs or as  a snack.  Same thing  with  salsa,  I have tons of  different salsa recipes but most of the time have a few varieties on hand ready to add to  whatever I am whipping up.  


To make Chilaquilles just follow several easy steps.  Heat  up  a frying pan,  add oil,  shred up 4 or 5 tortillas and fry till  crispy.  Scramble  in 1 or 2 eggs,  add a ladle full  of beans and  heat through.  Sprinkle with cheese (I like Monterrey jack, but Cohuila is good to if you can get it) and salsa. Add dollop of Crema sour cream and serve hot.   If  done correctly  this dish should  take you  about 5 minutes to make.

Fart Note:
Eat slowly,  not only will  you enjoy your  food more , but chewing helps break down the food  before you digest it and you swallow less air, which is also is a huge compontent of butt burping.  This is the reason why men tend to Donald Trump more than women Daisy Duke.
