Directions
Here goes my first recipe. So I’m not going to tell you guys how to make rice and beans, cause that shit can come from a box and a can if you’re that fucking lazy.
Patacones (or Tostones) are basically fried, smashed plantains and they are delicious. Score the sides of an unpeeled plantain lenghwise, chop in into 1/4 to 1/2 inch rounds, use the scored places to remove the peel, and then throw those into some already hot oil in a pan. Like so:
Flip them after a few minutes, and once they’re nicely golden take them out of the oil and put them on a paper towel on a plate. Then smash those fuckers with the back of a spoon. And put them back in the oil.
Cook them for maybe a minute on each side and then put them back on the paper towel and add some salt. Ta-Da.
Now onto the Huevos Motuleños, which are basically a Yucatecan version of Huevos Rancheros. A lot of places make it with ham and peas. I am far classier than that, so I went with bacon and asparagus:
I’m not Rachel Ray, so I’m not going to tell you how to cook bacon (ed. note: I am Rachel Ray’s titties).
Then make some sunny side up eggs. I mean, if you want to cook the yolk, fine, but you’re a pussy and have awful taste. Also you want that yolky goodness all up in the sauce. Nom.
So once those are done, layer the warmed tortillas on the bottom, then the bacon and asparagus, then the eggs. Por ejemplo:
Look at that fanciness I pulled with those patacones. Oh yes.
Then pour on your heated up sauce, top with some sort of grated, salty cheese like cotija or cheddar if you’re white trash, and then sour cream (or greek yoghurt like I used cause I’m “healthy”). This is basically a breakfast dish, but I’m a fucking rebel and eat breakfast for dinner.
P.S. Patacones are extra delicious when you dip them in the black beans.
Also sorry the pictures are shitty. Had to take them with my phone, because the battery is flat on my camera.
