Mini breakfast pizzas

 

A different kind of breakfast meal using familiar ingredients, pizza with pancetta and eggs.


These were made with store bought mini pizza rounds which makes it easy to throw together at the last moment. A little tomato sauce followed by shredded mozzarella cheese then parcooked pancetta. Eggs are fried then placed on top all to get into oven till hot and bubbly. I had some pea sprouts to place ontop as a garnish.

Note: Pancetta is a Italian style unsmoked bacon, but any kind of bacon can work in its place. Sliced bread can be used if pizza rounds are not available.

Tacos, street style


 Street Style Pork Tacos 


The common taco found everywhere in Mexico is often cooked and served from little push carts lining the streets. Pork is a very common meat and its slow cooked till falling apart tender then fried often in its own fat till crispy, carnitas! Warm corn tortillas are small in size and double stacked before being filled with the crispy salty pork then its topped with a dash of diced white onion and chopped cilantro. If you are lucky maybe a dollop of avocado on top then a drizzle of salsa. We used to eat these by the dozens along with a few cold beers at these road side taco stands. One of my favorite snacks.
