Brex-Mex

I have recently discovered that my favorite genre of breakfast food may be Mexican. I have developed a habit of ordering breakfast burritos from Boloco as a weekend hangover cure and every-so-often I will get one during the week. However, during the week burritos don’t really help settle my stomach quite as well.

Some mornings I go without breakfast, which I know is never a good idea. Most days I just have some peanut butter on toast, as it’s quick, easy, and I have all the ingredients in my desk at my office. But having a food court in the lobby of my building makes it hard to resist the occasional splurging for a nice greezy breakfast.

This morning I went with a Qdoba breakfast quesadilla (pronounce Case-a-dilla if you want to further beat that joke into the ground). We get it! That’s how it’s spelled! Just say it the right way, no one finds you amusing. I lost my train of thought…

Oh right, breakfast! People have been telling me to try the quesadilla for a while now, so I finally broke down and gave it a try. I went with the chicken variety. The quesadilla was comprised of chicken, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream, and it was awesome. As delicious as it was, I’m not entirely convinced that the human body was designed to process Mexican food at 9:30 in the morning. I would consider this to be a wonderful breakfast, but perhaps I will be humming a different tune in 30 minutes or so.

You Boston folks need to take a vacation to Southern California to taste what real Mexican food is all about :) It sounds like you've scoured the area to find a couple of decent restaurants, but for the most part... ick, right?

The breakfast quesadilla looks actually quite good. Breakfast burritos are a mainstay of our lifestyle out here. We love our little hole-in-the-wall Mexican shacks. Those are the ones w/ the best food.

I'm actually trying something interesting this weekend... Scrambled Egg Pizza. Does that sound gross? One of our local delis does it and I thought I'd give it a shot a home.

Thats not gross at all! There was some forzen breakfast pizzas that I used to eat as a kid that had scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage. The crust was more like a biscuit than your standard pizza crust though.

In conclusion, please mail me some.

I may be alone in this opinion, but I could eat Mexican for all three meals. Eggs and tortillas seem to be a natural match, especially with the addition of melted cheese.

Speaking of which, what is a quiche if not a deep dish egg pizza?
