Mexitaliamerican Breakfast Taco
That’s really the only way I can verbally describe it.
This is one weird combination I stumbled upon. I just looked through my fridge for anything to eat for breakfast. I had been pondering how pan-fried salami would be, but never pondered salami in a corn tortilla. This is a completely nontraditional blend of a variety of foods and a less common egg cooking method that produced an amazing taco. The rest of my day was actually made better by this meal.
Ingredients:
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 Tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Small Corn Tortillas
- 2 Large Slices of Salami
- 2 Large Slices of Provolone
- 2 Tsp Black Pepper (1Tsp Per Taco)
- 1 Tsp Sea Salt (Just a Pinch Per Taco)
- 1 Tsp Paprika per Taco
- 1 Tsp California Chili Pepper per Taco
- Several Dashes Tapitio or Cholula Hot Sauce
- Some Olive Oil
Recipe:
- Fill a wide pot with about 3 inches of water, add a good bit of salt and bring it to a boil
- Add vinegar to the water
- While the water is coming to a boil, bring a pan to medium-high heat and add a little olive oil, then a tortilla
- Cook the Tortillas about 3 minutes per side until they’re starting to get browned and crunchy
- Lower the boiling water to a simmer, around medium-low heat
- Crack one egg into a bowl then slide the bowl in the water and slowly incorporate the egg into the water (this, the salt, and the vinegar help keep the egg white and yolk connected)
- Cook that for about 2-3 minutes per side, when you pull it out the white should be mostly solid and the yolk still juicy
- While the eggs are poaching, heat the 2 slices of salami in the pan for a minute or so, then put that on the tortilla
- Put the tortilla back on the heat and add the provolone on top of the meat
- Once the cheese has melted, put the tortilla on a plate
- Put the egg on top of the melted cheese and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder.
At this point you CAN serve it, BUT I did this:
- chop up the egg so the yolk gets all over
- Then splash on the southwestern hot sauce of your choice and love your life!
