NFT: Heading out for a late breakfast

Big Al : 2/16/2020 10:08 am
im about an hour (or call it brunch). Thinking of trying a dish called “ GREEN CHILAQUILES WITH CARNITAS AND EGGS”.

Do I need a cast iron stomach or should I simply go with my standard Eggs Benedict?
You cannot go wrong with a Portuguese Breakfast

I’d get it over eggs Benedict, no question

you can get the latter anywhere, and Spanish, Portuguese, etc influences breakfasts taste better to me anyway.

Haha. I was being funny with my comment. Ever see Duece Bigelow 2?
Not quite sure what the AND EGGS means in the description  
BlueLou'sBack : 2/16/2020 11:00 am : link
since chilaquiles is a (scrambled) egg based dish! Unless the establishment you intend to visit has dumbed down the description for Gringos...

Anyway love me chilaquiles, green or red, and carnitas as breakfast side meeat sounds very cool to me.

I haven't ordered or made eggs Benedict in maybe 2-3 generations. Even though twists on the classic Benny, like crab cakes replacing the Canadian bacon, or the almost standard "Florentine" with sauteed spinach and smoked salmon nestled under the poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce, are all really good and tempting.

Go with the chilaquiles and carnitas; I would 9/10.
Try the bread sticks...

Bad clams?

"Painting the bathroom" is more on the place, than the dish you order IMO.

Assuming Al wasn't making a special trip to the barrio for the chilaquiles and carnitas.

Yes and no. It is more on the individual than the meal.
Agree 100% Robbie.

But I would think Al wouldn't even have asked the question if he were the sensitive stomach type.

Nor would his handle be "Big Al" if he had a delicate digestion.

My guess.
get the carnitas

and shit yourself. it will be funny.
It actually doesn't sound  
Pete in MD : 2/16/2020 11:53 am : link
all that spicy or hard on the stomach. The green salsa is usually more mild, carnitas can be greasy sometimes and I know that bothers some people. Obviously, eggs are not usually an issue and fried corn tortillas also shouldn't be especially tough on the gut.
Turned out not to be too spicy.

Chilaquiles normally is not a "spicy" (hot) dish. Made with Poblano or Anaheim hot peppers, those are among the milder "hot" peppers.

Additional hot sauce atop them is up to you.

Don't know where you eat Mexican, but that plate looks a heckuva lot more like Nachos than Chilaquiles to me.

In Chilaquiles, the corn tortilla chips should be softened by their immersion in salsa or beaten eggs or both.
I have never eaten at

Taco Bell but a new one just opened in a local Target parking lot. Any recommendations?
You're...
