More doesn’t always mean better. A laundry list of ingredients, complicated preparation or heavy sauce doesn’t guarantee a winner. I guess that is why it is hard to find sauce at most serious BBQ places (or forks for that matter). Sometimes, the fewer things on a plate, the better the flavors come through.
I was thinking about this while I was making breakfast and pushed away some of the ingredients I was going to put in my dish. What didn’t it need? What it just needed: fresh corn tortillas from Central Market (still hot in the bag), two eggs scrambled from Vital Farms, cilantro, shallot, salt and a splash of vinegar based hot sauce (Crystal is my brand). Fantastic. For me, it didn’t need anything else.
Sounds perfect to me, too! I love the Vital Farms eggs and am a sucker for shallot in almost anything. Thanks for the simplicity reminder!
