Chorizo.

That highly flavored Mexican sausage that everyone seems to love. Perfect to accompany any breakfast. When I worked in a kitchen, it was a big deal to have chorizo in house. And let me tell you, they didn’t bring that cheap chorizo either. They bought expensive chorizo, which is why it was a big deal. This chorizo had less fat, more quality muscle-based meat in it, was darker in color, and tasted multitudes better.

We almost always paired it with eggs, onions, and jalapenos. That mixture was then put in some corn tortillas with either tobacco or homemade salsa. I’m not afraid to admit that I took advantage of these breakfasts. I sure miss those days with my Mexican and Guatemalan comrades.
