Chorizo, Potato Tortilla & Egg Skillet
On the weekends, I usually look through the fridge and concoct some sort of breakfast. This Chorizo, Potato Tortilla & Egg Skillet is what I came up with. Having a cast iron skillet works really well for this. Chorizo is a type of pork sausage with smoked paprika.

Angie’s Chilaquiles
My friend Angie made these Chilaquiles last week and it's all I could think about. It's a fantastic recipe that she made up. You can also use the sauce for huevos rancheros. Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican dish. Typically, corn tortillas are cut in quarters lightly fried and topped with green or red salsa. Usually, chilaquiles are eaten at breakfast or brunch. This makes them a popular recipe to use leftover tortillas and salsas.

Beef Tamales with Red Chili Sauce
Every Christmas eve my mother-in-law served tamales and albondigas soup. She got her tamales from a local source in East Los Angeles. My friend asked if I wanted to make tamales with her. Absolutely! We corralled another friend, who actually knows what she’s doing and my daughter. We each brought our own filling. I made beef and we also had pork and chicken. I had made tamales in the past, but only one dozen. This time, we made 150! My friend said that you have to take a shot after every dozen is completed! Given that it was 10 am when we started, I only did 2 shots, and then there were those mimosas…. It was so much fun, that I want to do it every year.
