Sour Cream and Salsa

Right on, Kili.

Salsa has become so popular in the US, it has recently overtaken ketchup in overall sales. And why not. Is not ketchup really just an over-pureed over-processed salsa? Salsa goes good on anything ketchup works on, and usually better. Last night I had breakfast burritos with salsa for dinner. Yum!

Breakfast burritos are pretty common in many parts of the West and Southwest. So much so, many well known Burger chains offer a variation on their breakfast menu. You can do just about anything you like with these using anything from bacon to sausage or beef to frijoles (beans) or whatever comes to mind. Typically, If it can be eaten off a plate for breakfast, it can rolled in a tortilla. I'll pbutt on the grits.

The other great Mexican breakfast clbuttic, as Kili mentions, is Heuvos Rancheros, which is typically a combination of beans, eggs, and salsa. My favorite way to eat HR is to heat up a some refritos (refried beans), top them with a couple fried eggs (over easy) and top all with warm salsa. I then cut up the eggs and mix in the runny yolks, then use a toasted flour tortilla as a spoon and enjoy it with an ice cold cerveza (beer). Double yum! Using nuked canned beans and salsa, a very quick, yet hearty, breakfast.

If I hadn't used up my last eggs for burritos last night, I'd be making some HR right now. ;)
