Tapatio aloo - HOT!

For some spicy breakfast potatoes - country style - start with potatoes cooked in the microwave. Break them into pieces. You ofcourse need some Tapatio sauce!


Break the potatoes - don't use a knife.


Add to a pan with some olive oil. Add salt, basil, parsley and some oregano.


Cook until nice and brown - this is a slow process so be patient. When ready add the tapatio, stir and serve!
Caution - can be very spicy.

First the salsa verde.
Blend tomatillos, onions, serrano peppers and cilantro. Then sautee with some olive oil








Now the fried tortillas.
Cut tortillas into triangles and fry in oil until crispy. Soak the oil in a napkin!




Add these fried chips to the salsa! Top off with some queso panela or fresco.

Heating Tortillas

Just like you have roti, you can also heat tortillas in a pan. The fancy technique is to stack a bunch of them and flip a couple at a time so that they steam together. This softens them. Serve with any other dish on this blog!!
