Breakfast: Breakfast Burrito
Lunch: Cobb Salad
Dinner: Barbacoa Tacos
Additional Description: The breakfast burrito started my morning off with fluffy eggs, fried potatoes, crispy bacon and Tillamook Cheddar Cheese topped with Cholula hot sauce and wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Lunch was lighter today which I appreciated just because of the bigger than normal breakfast. The Cobb salad included romaine, homemade garlic parmesan croutons, sliced boiled egg, bacon and chicken topped all topped with ranch. Dinner tonight consisted of Barbacoa tacos. We made our version of barbacoa (which I guess is often traditionally made with sheep or goat) with part of the beef roast that we cooked yesterday in the crock pot. We added salt and pepper, garlic, cumin, diced jalapenos and diced fire roasted tomatoes and cooked in a pot until hot and steamy. I made some fresh corn tortillas to add the barbacoa to and topped with lettuce and cheese. Bonus: made some chocolate chip cookies too…hadnt had dessert in awhile since Ive been committed to making everything myself.
You may be wondering…man, how do you have time to make a breakfast burrito with eggs, potatoes, bacon and cheddar in the morning? Well, I’ll tell you how. I made the bacon and potatoes the night before, along with the bacon I needed for the cobb salad and a couple of boiled eggs and homemade croutons to boot. This planning ahead thing just might work.
Ok I have to talk about the barbacoa again. Another fun fact (that you could learn about more by clicking on the link I mentioned earlier) is that barbacoa is where the word barbecue comes from. Its basically Mexican BBQ, a slow cooked meat that you can often find served out of street carts in Mexico. I wasn’t sure about how mine was going to turn out. Honestly Ive never made it before but knew what types of things can generally be included. Let me just tell you that it was absolutely delicious. Ill end this post with an actual quote from my wife, Mollie:
“That was freakin’ good! Its exactly what I wanted.”
