Sobras otra vez

¡Buenos días! These are teleras to the right. But more about them later...

This is going to happen every so often. We have to eat up leftovers, or sobras, as they're called in Spanish. Last night we used some of the chicken fajita meat sliced thinly and put it inside of some corn tortilla QUESADILLAS, which we then served with sliced avocado, frijoles, and salsa. It was a simple dinner that took us about 5-10 minutes to make, 15 minutes to devour.

A note on breakfast/desayuno: some mornings we stick with a traditional cup of Mexican hot chocolate with a whole wheat bolillo (Mexican roll, like a hard crusty French bread on the outside, soft white bread on the inside). It's hard to get good, traditional bolillos anywhere in Central Oregon, but we've found some that are good enough. Last week at one of the local grocery stores that caters to our growing Mexican population here in Bend we were able to find whole wheat teleras. These are also hard rolls, but they're shaped differently. They're great for making Mexican sandwiches called tortas.

Other mornings for breakfast we've had egg dishes, quesadillas, or little breakfast tacos. I will be writing more about these later and will provide some recipes and ideas for more authentic Mexican breakfasts!
