A Veggie Mexican's Breakfast

I'm feeling rather tired. I have two days of work ahead of me, and then it's off to Flint. I'm visiting my family, and hopefully some friends. I have a lot to say, but I'm not really sure what it is. There's a bond on my heart - I need a change to loosen the knot. I'm hoping to do that with my trip to Europe, but I think I'm also going to take a quick trip before that, just for a weekend. Sometime in the next couple months.

This was my breakfast this morning. It was my first time working with TVP, and it was rather nice.


Vegetarian Chorizo and Eggs
Serves Two

1/4 Cup TVP
3/8 Cup water
1 T Chili powder
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Epazote
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
A few pinches of Cumin
More salt to taste
2 - 3 eggs

In a skillet heat the water to a simmer. Add the TVP and heat on low, letting it reconstitute. It'll be a bit wet - it should be as you'll be letting it fry off. Add all your spices at this point and mix well. Add the oil of your choice, enough to get the pan nice and slippery. Turn the heat up to medium and fry for a minute. Add the egg and mix it all up, scrambling the egg slightly in the pan. Cook through. You may wish to add a bit more salt at this point to taste. Spoon into warm tortillas and eat!
