Manly Mohammed Hafeez' Chilaquiles : A Mexican Breakfast for Bashing

Good morning or afternoon, or evening, wherever you are.  It's going to be a smokin' hot one today in Melbourne, but really, who cares when you've got another smokin' hot ODI coming up tomorrow!  YES!  My lovely lads are going to be on the warpath against New Zealand again and I can't wait to see manly Mohammed Hafeez score some skookum runs and make those Kiwis shake in their boots!  YES!

Eat a manly man's and a womanly woman's breakfast and be AWESOME like MoHa!

As you all know by now, when you eat bad food, your sports performance just goes down the tubes.  When you eat well, you perform well.  I want my favourite team of ALL TIME to continue to do well.  I've shown how good pakistani food gives direct, positive results in sports, but I cannot forgive myself because I haven't talked about breakfast, the most important meal of the day.   So today it's going to be about breakfast and how it should give you more than sufficient energy to last 12 hours. 

So far, I've shown you how to make Pakistani bbq things, and dishes which are great for lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert.  But for breakie, I'm going to show you one of the best inventions Mexico has ever given the world, and I'm re-naming it after our favourite batting opener, Mohammed Hafeez.  You've got it; to ensure batting success, let's give our lads some of

Mohammed Hafeez' Chilaquiles (chee-la-KEE-lays) for Bashing Away

Chilaquiles are made of totopos (corn tortillas cut into triangles and deep fried) stewed in freshly cut green spicy salsa.  Red salsa can also be used, but the green has a deeper flavour.  You can also add some cooked chicken or cooked beef for extra protein. They can be served with a side of refried beans (which I'll show you how to make tomorrow before the ODI happens).  The balance of the nutrients from the corn in the totopos and vitamins from the salsa give you a tremendous amount of energy, and make you big and strong.  It's also incredibly delicious.  Right.  So I'm going to show you the fancy version of chilaquiles, the kind you serve to macho men and womanly women.  Hey, we all need our strength!

Ingredients
about 12 corn tortillas, cut into small triangles, and deep fried OR cut into small triangles and dried overnight OR commercially available tortilla chips

Green Salsa ingredients
1 roma tomato or 3 tomatillos
1 bunch chopped coriander
1 bunch chopped parsley
1 dark green lettuce leaf
1/2 cup chopped green onion (or 1/2 chopped regular onion of green ones aren't available)
2 or 3 chopped jalapenos, or serrano chilies if you prefer hotter
3 or 4 cloves chopped garlic
freshly squeezed lime juice
salt

Mix everything together except for the totopos and put it into a blender.  Add more lime juice to adjust the taste.

Put the salsa into a big frying pan, and add about a cup of water, and bring it to a boil.
If you have some left-over cooked chicken tikkas,or cooked beef,  pull the meat off and put it in the pan too.

Add the totopos or tortilla chips, and attempt to put them in layers, or just give them a quick stir, and turn the heat down to low.   Put some sharp flavoured shredded cheese on the top, and crack open a couple of eggs and place them whole on top of the cheese.  Cover the pan and let cook a couple of minutes or until the eggs are cooked and the cheese is melted.

Serve with a side of refried beans and drizzle some fresh cream on the chilaquiles.  Pure, unadulterated awesomeness!

Let's go, manly Mohammed Hafeez!  Repeat that beautiful 115 run bash tomorrow with this energizing breakfast that Mexico has given the sports world, and we'll all be at home, cheering you lovely lads on!

Happy Cooking, Happy Cricket!  Happy Chilaquiles!
