You may have heard of huevos rancheros, but have you heard of huevos divorciados? I am guessing that maybe you haven’t, unless you are from Mexico or are very familiar with Mexican cuisine! This huevos divorciados recipe is delicious and is one of my favorite breakfast dishes. It has everything you need – corn tortillas, salsa roja, salsa verde, refried beans, and of course, sunny-side-up eggs. They are called “divorced eggs” because they have two types of salsas, separated on the plate. They are delicious, easy to make, and very practical.

What are Huevos Divorciados?

Huevos divorciados are a traditional breakfast originating in central Mexico, which consists of two fried eggs (huevos estrellados or sunny side up eggs) on top of a fried tortilla, with one egg covered in a red sauce (salsa roja), and the other in a green sauce (salsa verde). To keep them separate (aka divorced), there is a column of refried beans with queso fresco and tortilla chips. In the alternative, you can make chilaquiles rojos and put those in the middle to separate the eggs.

In Mexico, we say that that the red salsa represents the woman and the green salsa represents the man. I am not sure why, but that is the tradition! Huevos divorciados is in essence a variation of huevos rancheros, which is another very popular Mexican breakfast.

Eggs, being a very nutritious ingredient, is very popular in Mexican cuisine and there are many ways to prepare it incorporating popular Mexican flavors, and in most cases homemade salsas. Huevos, or eggs, are inexpensive and easy to make in many different ways. Keep reading to find out how to make this quick and humble meal.

How do you make Huevos Divorciados?

This is one of the most simple recipes that you can make for breakfast. I am including links to my salsa roja and salsa verde recipes, but if you want to use a different salsa or even a store bought salsa, you can do that and they will still be great. I always think that homemade is better, but sometimes convenience wins out in the end!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients (for two people):

• 4 corn tortillas
• 4 eggs
• salt to taste
• 1/2 cup of oil
• salsa roja
• salsa verde
• refried black beans (frijoles refritos)
• fried tortillas (cut into triangles)
• Queso fresco
• crispy bits of chorizo (optional)

Preparing this meal is so easy! Just follow these steps.

First, prepare the salsas following the recipes above or you can use your own salsa recipe. Once those are ready, you can start putting the dish together.

Now, add enough oil to fry the tortillas in a frying pan over medium-low heat and fry them slighly, but don’t let them get to crispy. Use paper towels to get rid of thte excess oil. In the same pan, fry the tortillas. If you like them sunny side up, that is fine, but if you prefer that they are cooked all the way through, you can do it that way too!

Finally, get your serving plate out and start by placing the two fried tortillas on the plate and place one egg on top of each. Make a division between the two tortillas and eggs with refried beans and then top each egg with a different salsa – one with salsa roja and the other with salsa verde. Add the queso fresco, chorizo, and some tortilla chips with the beans and it is ready to go!

These three nutritious smoothie recipes are all made with delicious milk and taste great. They make for a perfect breakfast before school.

In some of my previous posts I have mentioned that I grew up on my grandparents ranch in Mexico. I loved growing up there because there was always so much to do – from picking mangoes and avocados, to riding horses, and even to milking cows. My grandpa had so many different animals – cows, chickens, pigs, goats, and more.

As a result, there was never any shortage of fresh eggs, meat, and best of all milk. I grew up drinking milk every day and I still love it today. Milk is one of the original farm-to-table products. Growing up in Mexico it went from farm to table very quickly since we lived on the farm – but even now living in a big city, milk usually goes from the farm to grocery store within 48 hours.

I am also trying to teach my little boys to love milk as much as I do. My two oldest boys ask for milk all the time, and I feel confident giving it to them. I know that it is a great way to give them the nutrition that they need. They are happy to just drink it plain, but I also try to switch it up sometimes by giving them some delicious smoothies in the morning before school.

I love coming up with new smoothie varieties for my family to try. I try to include fruit, some type of seeds, and of course fresh, delicious milk. Today, I want to share with you all three different smoothies that my boys love and that I am sure you will too. You can always customize these based on your personal tastes, but these combinations have been a hit at my house.

In addition to my recipes below, check out this website, Fuertesconleche.com, for even more recipe and information about milk.

I am excited to be working with Smithfield to bring you this delicious recipe for Tex-Mex Breakfast Tacos featuring Smithfield Breakfast Sausage. Keep reading to find out more!

 I love breakfast, but sometimes I don’t love eating breakfast early in the morning!

Growing up in Mexico, breakfast is kind of a big deal – it is actually one of the biggest meals of the day. You will often find delicious Mexican style eggs, homemade salsa, and always lots of freshly made tortillas.

I remember always looking forward to having a tasty, large breakfast every day. Now fast forward 7 years and 3 kids to the present, and sometimes it is not easy to have a big breakfast every morning. More often then not I find myself having something small to eat while I am serving my kids, and then eating something bigger a few hours later. As a result, I am now a pretty big fan of brunch!

Now, just because I am eating brunch a few hours later, doesn’t mean that it can’t be just as good as when I was growing up, right?

That is why I am so glad that there are so many great breakfast products that I can use to recreate similar breakfast recipes to what I used to eat in Mexico. One of my favorites is Smithfield Breakfast Sausage. It comes in great flavors such as maple, bacon, and hometown original and  you can get it as a roll, in links, or patties. I only like to use high quality products, and Smithfield fits the bill – it is made with only premium quality pork and is gluten free.

In addition to the sausage, Smithfield has lots of other great products that are perfect for brunch like bacon, spiral sliced ham, and more!

Usually in Mexico we use chorizo (a spicy sausage) for breakfast to go along with the eggs and potatoes, but I decided to use Smithfield Breakfast Sausage for today’s recipe.

These breakfast tacos combine my favorite tastes from Mexico – Mexican style eggs, fresh salsa, and tortillas, with some of my new favorites from the USA – Smithfield Breakfast Sausage and roasted garlic potatoes.

The Mexican style eggs are basically scrambled eggs with tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and cilantro. These are often just served with salsa and tortillas on the side, but I decided to combine them in these breakfast tacos to mix things up a bit.

For the potatoes, I used red potatoes and cut them up into small cubes before cooking them with a little bit of olive oil, garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper until they were nice and crispy.

After the eggs and potatoes are done, all you need to do is brown the Smithfield Breakfast Sausage, and add it to the eggs together with the potatoes. I like to use homemade tortillas, but if you are in a hurry you can use store bought. If you do, make sure you heat them in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they get nice and warm and a little bit crispy. Next you will add the cheese and the potato, egg, and sausage mixture.

Finally, serve the tacos with freshly made salsa and enjoy! I hope that you find these Tex-Mex Breakfast Tacos as yummy as I do – let me know in the comments below!

I have to admit that I was never really into “sweet” breakfasts until I moved to the United States. In Mexico, it is much more common to have savory breakfasts, like these delicious red chilaquiles, or these huevos rancheros.

That said, I have now been here for over 6 years, and as a result I have expanded my horizons and now I enjoy these sweet breakfasts too. For example, one of my favorite breakfast items now is the always delicious Bananas Foster French Toast that I tried for the first time last year when my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary with a weekend getaway. Another favorite of mine are these sweet crepes with white chocolate whipped cream. As you can see, I no longer limit myself to savory breakfasts and I am always looking for new sweet breakfasts to make for my family and to share with all of you. 

The recipe that I want to share today is also a french toast recipe – but this one, unlike the bananas foster version, is stuffed with an amazing cream cheese filling and strawberries and topped with powdered sugar and syrup.

If you know how to make regular French toast, then making stuffed French toast is going to be easy for you. That is because you start out by making French toast like normal, and then you spread a layer of the cream cheese and strawberry filling, before adding at least one more layer of each. The end result is a breakfast that people will be talking about forever!

One of the secrets to having a good French toast is having a great bread! For the stuffed French toast in the image above and below, I used a freshly baked French loaf that I got from my local grocery store. The bread shown in the process images were brioche, which is also delicious!

I hope that you enjoy this recipe – let me know how it turned out in the comments section below!

Strawberry and Cream Stuffed French Toast Recipe

Author Charbel Barker

Ingredients

For the French Toast

• A few slices of French bread
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Tablespoon of granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 Teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1-2 Tablespoons of Butter

For the filling

• 4 Oz of cream cheese
• 2 Tablespoons of sour cream
• 1/3 cup of granulated sugar or powdered sugar
• 1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Fresh Strawberries

Instructions

For the Filling

• Combine all of the ingredients except for the strawberries and beat until creamy. Set aside.
• You will add the pieces of strawberry separately in between the slices of French toast and on top.

For the French Toast

• There are a couple of ways to do this, but in each you will need to start by combining all of the ingredients except for the butter and the bread and stirring well.
• This first option only works if you want to make a stuffed French toast with only 2 pieces of bread, start by laying one piece of bread on a plate and add some of the filling mixture and few strawberries, and then top with the other piece of bread.
• Now, carefully submerge the whole thing (both pieces of bread, with the filling) into the egg mixture, making sure to cover both sides completely.
• Then, melt the butter in a skillet and add the French toast, cooking well on both sides until it is as done as you want.
• The other way to do this is the cook each piece of French toast separately, and then adding a layer of the filling in between each piece of bread. This is the way that you will want to do it if you are doing two or more layers of bread.
• Once cooked, top with syrup, powdered sugar, and more strawberries and enjoy!

One of the biggest adjustments that I had to make when coming to the United States was related with food. Not only is a lot of the food here different than what I was used to, but the whole meal schedule was different too! In Mexico, breakfast is usually the biggest meal of the day. There are so many great breakfast foods in Mexico – like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and more! So when I found out that a common breakfast for my husband consisted of cold cereal and orange juice, I was a little bit surprised!

I always loved breakfast growing up, because I always felt like it gave me a great start to my day and provided me with the energy that I needed to go out and play with all of my friends and helped my imagination to shine! Although I have adjusted to the common meal schedule here in the United States, one thing that I have tried to maintain is having good, nutritious breakfasts that my two little boys actually enjoy eating.

One of their favorite breakfasts is definitely these Sweet Breakfast Crepes – they are so delicious and I always make it a point to have lots of different ingredients for them to add to their crepes so that their imagination can run wild!

Here are some ideas for crepe fillings that your kids will love:

1. Chopped Strawberries
2. Chocolate or yogurt covered raisins
3. Sprinkles
4. White Chocolate Whipped Cream (recipe below)
5. Blueberries
6. Strawberry Syrup
7. Chocolate Chips
8. Caramel syrup
9. Bananas
10. Mini Marshmallows

Today I made these tasty crepes for my boys and let them decide between a few different options – they ended up with strawberries, chocolate syrup, a delicious homemade white chocolate whipped cream (recipe below), and sprinkles.

As you can see, they really enjoyed this breakfast. Of course I had to accompany it with a refreshing Nestle Nesquik breakfast shake – consisting of Nestle Nesquik Chocolate Powder, cold delicious milk, a small amount of extra sugar, and a couple of pieces of ice. This is the perfect complement to any breakfast, and my boys are ALWAYS asking for it!

One of the great things about this crepes recipe is that it only requires a few ingredients and can be made quickly on those mornings that you are rushing to get everything ready. My boys are always so excited every time that I make it because they know that they are going to get some delicious and fun fillings and they love choosing their own.

I love to see their imagination run wild, and I love teaching them the importance of having a delicious breakfast every morning!

If you like this recipe, then head on over to the Nesquik Pinterest board for many more great ideas!

Chilaquiles come in an endless variety of flavors – red, green, and  guajillo salsa, to name a few. The name roughly mean to “be smothered in chilies”, which is in reference to the fried tortillas that are smothered in the salsa that is made from various dried chiles popular throughout Mexico. For me, red chilaquiles are basically breakfast nachos, and I love them!

To make some authentic red chilaquiles, you need to fry your own homemade tortilla chips. That said, in practice, many people use store bought chips and that works too!

Without a doubt, red chilaquiles with chicken is one of the meals that reminds me the most of growing up in Mexico. My mama would always cut the tortillas into little triangles and fry them and then on queue, my big brother and I would sneak in, grab a couple of them, and hide while we ate them.

This always seemed to annoy my mama and she would tell us to “stop eating all of the tortillas or the chilaquiles will never been ready to eat!” That usually was enough to convince us to return tortilla chips back, because of course we wanted the delicious chilaquiles, not just the chips!

To make the delicious red sauce for these chilaquiles, you need to combine the tomatoes, along with the dried chiles that have been de-veined, and boiled in water like in my Barbacoa Tacos recipe. Next, blend them in a blender before adding some additional seasonings and cooking over medium heat. Once cooked through, you submerge the tortilla chips in the salsa until they are completed covered.

You want to make sure that the red sauce is a little bit thick so that the chips don’t get too soggy. Of course that is up to you, as there are some people that like them that way. This chilaquiles recipe is an ideal breakfast for days when you have leftover chicken to use – and they are especially tasty when freshly cooked.

Knowing that everyone that I have made red chilaquiles for has loved it, I am happy to share my mama’s recipe so that you can enjoy it as much as I do! Let me know in the comments if you like it!

Products you may need for this chilaquiles recipe:

1. Blender. You will need a good blender for one of the steps. I recommend this one by BlendTec – it is awesome and gets everything to the perfect consistency.
2. Fryer. You can fry the tortillas in a pan with oil, but since you have to do a lot of them, it may be easier to use a fryer like this one.
3.  Guajillo Chiles. You can find these in many stores, or you can just make it easy and buy them here.

My favorite meal of the day is definitely breakfast. That probably is the result of growing up in Mexico where breakfast is the largest, most important meal of the day. There are many different Mexican breakfast recipes, so people rarely get bored. Today I am going to share one of the best breakfast recipes in Mexico – huevos rancheros.

Huevos Rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast that everyone should try at least once. I say at least once, but I am sure that you will try it many more times after you make it the first time.

This classic breakfast recipe is delicious and easy to make. I always used to help my mom and my abuelita make these when I was a little girl, and they made a regular appearance on our table for breakfast.

What Are Huevos Rancheros?

So now I bet you are wondering how we make this famous Mexican breakfast, right?

The basic recipe consists of some simple ingredients – eggs, fresh vegetables, tortillas, beans, and cheese. This is a very filling, and hearty breakfast option that will help you start the day with a good amount of protein. 

The great thing about huevos rancheros is that you can always modify it to meet your needs and cravings. It is a very versatile dish, and one that I recommend you try making as soon as possible!

One way I like to make huevos rancheros even better is by sauteing some potatoes, onions, and big pieces of ham. That is exactly how I like to make them!

How Do You Make Huevos Rancheros?

Just like my mom and abuelita taught me to make this recipe, I also have enjoyed teaching it to my kids. It is great for kids who want to learn to cook, because there are very few steps.

Step 1: To start, you will want to saute the potatoes, onions, and pieces of ham in a little bit of olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2: Next, lightly fry a tortilla and heat up the refried beans. Once that is done, spread a thin layer of the beans over the tortilla.

Step 3: When that is done, fry the egg to your preference. I usually do not like runny eggs, but with Huevos Rancheros I often make it like this. Obviously, you can cook the yolk through if that is what you (or your kids) prefer.

Step 4: After the egg is done, put it on top of the tortilla and beans before topping with delicious salsa and queso fresco. I prefer to make this with my own salsa roja or salsa verde recipe, but you can also use store-bought if you are pressed for time. 

Step 5: Finish off the dish by serving with the potato, onion, and ham mix – all of the flavors, when combined make for an unforgettable breakfast!

I hope you enjoy these huevos rancheros. Let me know in the comments below how it turned out.

I have mentioned in other recipes that breakfast in Mexico is the most important meal of the day. That is why I love finding making delicious recipes like this bananas foster french toast. Although this particular type of breakfast may not be common in Mexico, I sure do love making it for my family here in the United States!

A couple of years ago, my husband planned a weekend escape for our anniversary. He secretly planned everything, from who would watch the boys, to the fancy dinner, to a couples massage, and a nice hotel. This all came as an amazing surprise for me. It was a very relaxing weekend and we were able to try some great restaurants too.

The restaurant that we went to for breakfast was beautifully decorated and had a great environment. It also just happens to be where we first this amazing breakfast, which is also considered a classic new orleans dessert, bananas foster french toast. It was so delicious and I couldn’t stop eating it even though it was a very large portion! The best part about this recipe is that it is so easy to make and can be made in only a couple of minutes with a handful of ingredients!

Those that know me know that I love spicy, savory foods. I like sweets too, but they always come second. For example, sometimes I will buy ice cream thinking that I will be eating it soon, and a few days later when I am ready to eat a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream, I come to find that my husband already finished it off days earlier!

All that said, there are some sweet recipes that I can’t stop eating like this delicious dessert.

What is Bananas Foster French Toast?

Bananas foster is a a delicious and sweet treat that was created by chef Paul Blangé in new orleans. It consists of rich ingredients like heavy cream, overripe bananas, melted butter, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon and vanilla. It was named for Richard Foster, who was the chairman of the New Orleans crime commission. It is traditionally made with dark rum as well, but this recipe omits that but is still amazing and super easy to make.

Bananas foster is typically served with vanilla ice cream, but it also goes great with French toast. All you have to do is make the French toast, then the sauce, and drizzle it over the top. Served with whipped cream and fruit, this makes for an amazing final dish.

Ever since we made this for the first time, it has become very popular in our house. The kids always request it for their birthday breakfast and my husband makes it every Sunday for a special breakfast.

How Do You Make Bananas Foster?

One of the great things about this particular recipe is that it is easy to make and uses common ingredients like leftover bananas, heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

I always start by making the french toast, because the bananas foster sauce doesn’t take very long to make and it is great served warm.

To make the bananas foster sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

• unsalted butter
• brown sugar (light or dark is fine)
• vanilla extract
• ground cinnamon
• heavy whipping cream
• bananas

For the French toast, you will need the following ingredients:

• Brioche bread (or any other bread that you prefer)
• heavy whipping cream
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• eggs

To make the sauce, start by melting the butter over low heat in a large skillet, and then adding the brown sugar. Next, you add the ground cinnamon and vanilla and let it simmer for about a minute. Finally, slowly add the heavy whipping cream, stirring quickly until you get the delicious creamy texture. The last step is to add the sliced bananas and stir until everything is combined. One of the best parts of this recipe is the warm bananas, so once they are a bit soft, remove from the heat and it is ready to serve either on top of the ice cream or the french toast, depending on how you are serving it.

For the French toast, you will start by combining the eggs, heavy whipping cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix well and then get out the bread that you have chosen to use.

Heat a skillet to medium heat, and then dip each piece of bread in the liquid and cook until golden brown on each side. Serve quickly with the bananas foster sauce and enjoy!

I hope that you will try this recipe on one of those lazy days where everyone is at home, relaxing and spending time as a family. The secret to making this bananas foster french toast is having nice, thick bread, and making the Bananas Foster sauce with extreme caution so that it doesn’t burn.

Some people add rum or banana liqueur to the recipe, but I don’t like it, so I haven’t included it in this recipe. In my opinion it doesn’t affect the flavor at all so give it a try!
