Freekin post #36 before anyone mentions PGC.
Savages.
(If you want a good PGC, find 505 Green Chili Sauce, add two pork tenderloins, a can of Chicken stock, and throw it in a slow cooker for 8-10 hours.
Onions last for weeks, if not months. I take it you don’t cook much? It seems like every recipe uses onions in some fashion.
As for my breakfast burrito of choice, that would be barbacoa, but I don’t have a clue how to make it myself.
At home, I usually do scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, cotija cheese (or cheddar if that’s what we have), pickled jalapenos sometimes, and almost always a good dollop of whatever salsa we have handy.
Every now and again, we make a batch of Robb Walsh’s chorizo recipe, and we use that a lot, and sometimes we also fry up some potatoes to put in there as well.
Not to hijack too much, but: Onions and the cooking thereof. Actually, bump, I cook 4-7 nights a week, as well as other meals on the weekend. I know from when I was living with my parents that I have excellent onion purchasing skills- I can pick up a sack of onions for them that won’t go bad for a month in their kitchen. But somehow, if I take onions of similar quality, breed, and age into my own kitchen, they go bad in no time flat. (Bread molds less quickly here, though. Kind of a trade-off.) It’s much easier in whatever crazy microclimate is going on in there to buy shallots, green onions, and garlic, as well as the occasional leeks, and use various combinations to get the allium flavor I want for a particular dish.
Also, now you’ve got me crazing cotija. Drat!
How odd! We can get a sack of onions and have it last a couple of months on average.
Believe it or not, finding the right tortilla is a big part of it. Flour of course. You want a relatively large diameter, but not thick. Thinner is better. Much better. Toasted on a flat pan until it gets a little golden in spots.
Sausage, ham and bacon. Eggs, potato cubes and fresh salsa (not hot, that comes from the hot sauce later) Cheese and hot sauce on top.
That and a steaming hot cup of coffee and the day is off to a great start.
