Mexican Breakfast from my Childhood


Fried Eggs over Spanish Rice with Dry Chilaquiles and Hot Pico

I remember my Mom setting aside crispy crunchy chilaquiles for me before she doused the adult version with red sauce and fresh cilantro and queso. They were like breakfast nachos with scrambled egg and fried onions, perfectly salted. I probably ate them with ketchup.
And whenever she made Sopa de Arroz for dinner with Carne Asada I knew that there would be orange rice left over for breakfast. She would fry it flat on a skillet, crack an egg over it and cover it, and that rice would brown so beautifully on the bottom.
This is a grown up version of my favorite kid's morning meals, together on one dish.
