Holy Guacamole! Try saying all that after a few tequilas. I DARE YA.
Its only 10am on a Saturday morning and about, roughly, i'd say, 100 degrees outside (weather girl career plan B sorted). If you eat a fry up right now, i will think you a) must be so hungover you can't tell its sunny and scorchio or b) you're one of those people who eats fry ups on holidays in spain and therefore get out of my kitchen right now.
SO.
Ditch the bacon grease and ketchup on hot summer mornings and head straight for a mexican brunch.
Fresh, spicy, light, bright ingredients (except the cheese but who doesn't love cheese on all the foods OK?) make for the best type of breakfast. These are so quick and easy and 10000% tequila hangover proof. Rachel loves tequila more than me. Im sure she could manage 20 of these after that night we had in exeter...
The homemade guacamole is also so, soooo easy and takes just a few minutes. Don't worry if you don't have a blender an electric mixer, just going at it with a spoon pretending its someone you hate will work just as ok and offer some free therapy at the same time.
Just promise promise me you WILL use lots of lime, chilli and paprika and bright red crunchy peppers and we're sorted.
These also make for a healthy pizza alternative if you can't quite bring yourself to eat this much cheese in the AM and want it with beer (who am i kidding. really).
For the Guacamole:
2 ripe avacados
1 lime squeezed
Chilli powder to taste- fresh chillis even better if you can face it in the am!
Paprika powder to taste
Put all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blitz. Season with the spices to taste!
For the Quesadilla:
2 tortilla wraps per person
Grated cheese
Fresh peppers, chopped
Paprika to taste
Head your griddle or pan on a high heat, grease pan, lay down one tortilla and load on the cheese and peppers and sprinkle with pepper and paprika to taste, place the second tortilla on the top and press down- i used a bacon press because god knows why but there's on in this house- flip over when the cheese starts to melt inside and the side of the tortilla starts to brown. The edges should go nice and crispy! This works well with cajun chicken also!
Plus you can add sweetcorn, chorizo etc etc into your quesadilla. To be honest i haven't eaten pizza in weeks, it was friday, i love making fresh guacamole and i wanted to play with my new camera. Do what ever the bloody hell you like with these ha!
p.s first brunch recipe post on this blog yay!
