how come you never made this for me? I'm now addicted to chillaquilles- which I guess works out living in Pilsen and all. I think I would have to go with red sauce though, but maybe that's just me.
Brilliant. Video is a great idea. That and this is pretty much exactly how I wake up on the weekends.
Awesome. Love the "braised animal" in the recipe. Also love your shirt.
Liz, I was not very good in the kitchen back then. Still miss your picadillo. The dish can work with red or green, but I've gotten the most compliments on green, so I stuck with that.
Aashay, you know I'm here for you.
Vicki, turns out I can cook without pork after all, but this dish would be killer with some....
Brilliant! Love the creativity. The choice of music is excellent. And goodness me, I love that dish! Though I use corn tortillas, not chips. But the outcome is delicious! Great job!
But Tatiana, if you use chips or fry the tortillas, then there's more precious fat in the dish :D
Stash's Ode to Fat continues! Yeah, I fry the tortillas, you lipid junkie! ;-)
cute vid :]
always loved your salsa verde. miss it :]
Ok. You have no money, but you have tomatillos? I am just trying to figure out your artistic motivation here... You wake up alone (not in your underpants or the altogether if you know what I mean...) You have 2 bottles of unopened wine in the fridge... bear with me 'cuz I am trying to figure this out. Then you make an excellent green sauce for breakfast. Though I would say from the looks of your arms that you may have already been to the gym. So maybe this is lunch. What's missing here? Is this an comment on your social life? Did I figure it out? GREG
Greg--tomatillos are cheap! I made the whole dish for ~3 dollars. I wake up alone because I'm a bachelor. Technically you don't know how I'm sleeping because I'm under covers--I did have to make this PG for the kids. There is no wine, that's actually Matilda, my favorite beer. No money to order anything, so I'm forced to cook. I had not already been to the gym at this point, this is how I look at 9am--no make-up. For the record, I did go work out later in the day. Not lunch. Don't know what's missing. Maybe you're close?
I am giggling at the falling out of bed, and then the music...Stash the first real food blog I wrote on my site over a year ago was how I was in Vancover Island with no sheet pan, so I had to go beg for a sheet of foil to roast my tomatillos to make a sauce for the salmon I had caught. I felt like a cave woman trying to cook that sauce in that hotel kitchen... If I can learn editing my video I would make one, this is very nice post!
