MOM'S EGGS AND TORTILLAS
When I studied in Merida, in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, my sophomore year in college, my host mom made something similar to this as a simple supper dish. In Mexico, lunch is eaten much later than in the US (2 or 3), and supper is often served quite late (8 or 9 in my host family's home). Lunch is the heaviest meal of the day, and supper is much lighter, sometimes leftovers from lunch, but in my host family's home, it was almost always something quick and simple to put together. My REAL mom enjoyed this so much when she went to visit me that she started making it at home, with her own adaptations. When she worked as a cook for Headstart (a government run preschool program), she made this a lot, and the children of Mexican immigrant families really perked up when they saw a more familiar food! The diced tomato, lime, and cilantro are my mom's additions. My host mom's version was much simpler. My host mom always tore up the tortillas by hand, but Mom is pretty attached to her kitchen shears, so she cuts them. Personally, I prefer the texture created by the jagged edges of the torn tortilla. I like to throw in some cooked and drained chorizo and a little Oaxaca cheese too! Oaxaca cheese is a white, easy melting cheese from Mexico. Fresh mozzarella whips come close to the flavor, but it's not the same. I miss Merida!

Steps:
- Heat oil in non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the tortilla pieces and toss lightly to heat and very lightly brown. You aren't making tortilla chips, just taking a little of the softness out of the tortilla.
- Add the eggs and continue frying and stirring frequently as for scrambled eggs until the eggs are done.
- Place in a serving bowl and top with the tomato and cilantro. Squeeze the lime juice over the top. Add salt and pepper to taste.

EGGS IN TORTILLAS
This recipe, originally from a Canadian Living cookbook, is for 6 -- but you could make just 1 or lots. These are a real treat for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Add some chopped ham if you wish; I've added snips of smoked salmon and it's divine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
- Spray 6 ramekins or custard cups with non-stick cooking spray (like Pam) and gently push a tortilla into each; you'll have to make some pleats.
- Reserve 6 teaspoons of the finely diced red pepper; combine remaining pepper with onions and parsley in a small bowl.
- Divide veggie mixture between the 6 tortillas.
- Crack 1 egg into a small bowl and gently tip into one of the tortillas, placing egg on top of the veggies; repeat until all 6 tortillas are filled.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper if you wish.
- Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove and sprinkle 1 tsp of the raw red pepper you saved on top of each egg; serve.
- Variation: sprinkle some shredded cheddar or mozzarella on top of eggs before baking.

- In a medium bowl, combine the masa harina and salt. Add 1-1/2 cups of the warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until all of the water is absorbed.
- Start working the mixture using your hands, adding up to ½ cup more water, a few tablespoons at a time. Your goal is to add enough water so that the mixture starts to form a cohesive dough. If it starts to stick to your hands, add a pinch or two more masa harina. The texture you’re aiming for is soft but not sticky (similar to Play-Doh or sugar cookie dough).
- Divide the dough into golf ball-sized chunks (about 1-1/2 ounces each). You should have enough dough to divide it into about 15 pieces. Roll each piece between your palms to form smooth balls. (This will make tortillas that are 5 to 6 inches in diameter.) Cover the dough balls with a clean, damp kitchen towel so they don’t dry out while you work.
- If you’re using a tortilla press, cut a gallon-size ziplock bag in half along the side and bottom seams so that you’re left with two pieces with which to cover each side of the press. Then trim each of the two pieces so each piece is just large enough to cover the top and bottom of the press without too much excess plastic. This keeps the dough balls from sticking to the press when you flatten them and makes it easy to transfer the flattened dough to the baking sheet.

- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and once it melts, crack the egg over top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the egg turns white and opaque. Gently flip the egg. Once flipped, top it with half of the grated cheddar. Place the tortilla on top. Cook for 1 minute.
- Gently flip the egg over so the tortilla is now on the bottom of the pan. Top with the remaining cheese. Cover with a lid and cook for another minute. Slide the tortilla egg onto a plate and cover it with the tomatoes, onions, avocado, peppers and cilantro. Serve!

- Add the water and vegetable oil and using your hands, mix together the dough until it is a cohesive ball and all of the liquid has been absorbed. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed. (The dough should be soft and Playdoh-like in texture, but not sticky.)
- Transfer the dough onto your work surface and knead it about 10 times until it becomes smooth all over.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal balls then flat each ball slightly into the shape of a hockey puck. Flour each piece of dough on both sides then set them aside and cover them with a towel.
