If you have read my blog long or know me in “real life,” I’m sure that you’ve picked up on the fact that I love Aldi!

I love their cereal, but probably our favorite product of all is:

The Sweet Onion fresh salsa. Oh, man. This stuff is GOOD!!! [I lived in San Antonio, Texas for quite a few of my "formative years," so I appreciate a good salsa!] I’ve heard the other flavors of fresh salsa they have are really good, too, but we just can’t branch out – we love this stuff too much. (And by the way, it’s only $2.00!)

I could live on it. And, I figure it’s ok – it’s all vegetables, after all! :)

You can even eat it for breakfast if you make breakfast tacos! I posted something on facebook a couple of weeks ago that I made bacon and egg breakfast tacos, and some of my Yankee friends had never heard of this delectable Texas staple. Here’s how I make them (although I’m sure this is not “authentic”… but since there are more Amish bulk stores than Mexican groceries where we live, cut me some slack.)

1. Cook 1-2 strips of bacon per taco.

2. Meanwhile, make some scrambled eggs. 1.5-2 eggs per taco is quite sufficient. When the eggs are set but not completely dry and cooked, add in a handful of shredded cheddar. Scrape the eggs and cheese to one side of the skillet, and put a few spoonfuls of salsa on the other side to warm through (try to squeeze out as much of the liquid from the salsa as you can so the eggs don’t get too watery.) Stir the warmed salsa into the eggs.

3. Spoon the egg/ cheese/ salsa mixture into warm tortillas. Top with whole strip(s) of bacon and additional salsa if desired. (I do, thank you. More is better!)

Ole!

Ya’ll should turn on some loud Tejano music and dance yourself over to thediaperdiaries.net for more Things I Love Thursday posts. ;)
