My Go To Sunday Breakfast: Egg and Bacon Torta

Don't forget the chipotle!

At a classic like Mexico City’s casual Don Polo–a place that’s fed tortas, licuados and aguas frescas to locals for generations–scrambled eggs sandwiched into a crispy telera is a go-to. Scrambled eggs (solo or with chorizo or ham or bacon), layered with cheese and avocado. The traditional smear of black bean puree settles the flavors firmly into the Mexican kitchen and some pickled jalapeños or smoky-aromatic chipotles bring smiles to every mouth.

Thank you for having the ingredients at the top of your website instead of buried way down the page like so many food bloggers do.

Looks delicious! The only thing I would change is to mash the avocado a bit with a fork and then add it to the sandwich. It stays better on the "torta" instead of falling off on almost every bite. I will be making those soon! Thanks Chef!

Always enjoyed going to BayLess Shoes as a kid.

My 2 all time fave breakfasts... Mexican style Scrabble eggs 98% cooked then finished with a couple laddles of salsa Verde. Poured on top of a bowl of Mexican white rice - flavored with a little bit of onion and chicken powder.

My second is refried beans with pickled jalapeno and lots of melting cheese, tacos, tortas, or i like to pour it on white rice ha

Made it this morning. Hooboy, that’s a good torta! Even more than that, thank you for the sliced avocado technique, it’s genius. I hated either smushing them trying to cut them after they were peeled, or having to peel each individual slice if I cut them with the peel on. I’ll be using that technique, and making this sandwich often.

[skandarc]

Making these as soon as I get back from the bakery 😋

[chinois]

You're awesome Chef! Thanks for the great lessons.

[chriholt]

All I can say is "Wow", that looks amazing!

[michaeldoxey]

Dude, are you still cooking. Man I would 2:01 watch your show on Saturday morning public TV. I'm glad to see that you're still cooking.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Take care.

Now THAT'S a breakfast sandwich. I'll have to try this, and a version with chorizo. Chorizo and eggs is a combo straight out of heaven.

That looks amazing. Needs a roasted salsa to spoon on or dip in.
