Must have corn tortillas, or at least fresh cornbread.

Specklet: soft, or the crispy ones?

If you're ever in Austin, this place has the best huevos rancheros in town. (Be sure to order them with a side of batter-fried bacon!)

Soft tortillas, so you can tear them to pieces and moosh eggs and beans into your mouth.

Oh god, AskMe won't load. *shudders*

Oh, it's back. *cheers*

I've never had "real" HR. Just salsa dumped on scrambled eggs; which is good in it's own way. We have breakfast tacos every couple weeks or so (soft flour tortillas, scrambled eggs, salsa, bacon, cheese).

The ones that anthropoid links to look delicious.

Every August, the city of Hatch, New Mexico, holds the Hatch Chili festival. Around that time, Central Market here in Houston gets loads of chiles from Hatch, and sells then raw, roasted, and as part of a number of items, including their cornbread and flour tortillas. Normally I prefer corn tortillas, but these soft, plump flour tortillas with the chiles cooked into them are too awesome to resist. I load some lightly scrambled eggs, crispy shredded hashbrowns, and simple salsa into a couple of those tortillas and enjoy.

Oh man, Central Market's green chile hamburger buns are awesome too. Drooling.

*shakes fist at brainwidth*

I should not read threads about Mexican food. I love it so much and it's so hard to find in England.

OMG! Adding hashbrowns is a brilliant variation! Yes!

Add chorico.

Lard, not butter. A few small bits of tri-tip steak, marinated briefly in lime juice, black pepper and garlic. Rancho Gordo "ojo de cabra" beans left over from the day before, and if there are still a few bits of mushroom in there, so much the better.. A sprinkle of minced shallot. Really good fresh eggs from happy chickens, with yolks like marigolds, gently cooked sunny side up. A small bit of good monterey jack cheese, and maybe a forkful of goat cheese too. An avocado that you have selected because it was dense, firm & not overly thumb-printed by neurotic shoppers, and whose little stem nubbin came off with just a little nudge. Good, thick handmade corn tortillas. A healthy sprinkle of kosher salt, and an enthusiastic grind of black pepper.

Triode, you can just go ahead and bring me that right now. RIGHT NOW. On a warmed plate, plz.

Next time I'm in the city. Promise. (Provided that the neighbors don't lock their gate.)

Taz: Alas, I've been trying to duplicate that one glorious morning myself for nigh on a year now. Some things in life you only get once.

Pup: I do intend to organize a housewarming party, once we get all these boxes unpacked, and I learn my way around this kitchen.
