My Go To Sunday Breakfast: Egg and Bacon Torta

Don't forget the chipotle!
At a classic like Mexico City’s casual Don Polo-a place that’s fed tortas, licuados and aguas frescas to locals for generations-scrambled eggs sandwiched into a crispy telera is a go-to. Scrambled eggs (solo or with chorizo or ham or bacon), layered with cheese and avocado. The traditional smear of black bean puree settles the flavors firmly into the Mexican kitchen and some pickled jalapeños or smoky-aromatic chipotles bring smiles to every mouth.
Here's the recipe: www.rickbayles...

Thank you for having the ingredients at the top of your website instead of buried way down the page like so many food bloggers do.

[@JohnnyDaines]

Rick’s website is bar none the best food recipe website out there. Plus it’s free.

[@BillRalens]

@@JohnnyDaines are you trying to imply that you like not having to scroll through 45 pages of a story on somebody's wedding for people you don't know and pray you don't click on an advert by accident just because you wanted to make something and you've clicked the first result google dished up? BTW, the new york times managed to get it right with their pie crust ingredients(recipe)

Have u talked to Skip after he got fired from his TV show?

[@juanmena3648]

Replace Bacon with Chorizo/Longaniza... thank me later.

[@spanqueluv9er]

@juanmena3648 No. Go start your own KZbin channel.🤦‍♂️🤡🙄

[@gloriakadar3288]

​@@spanqueluv9er I like chorizo con huevo tortas.

[@DH-.]

My 2 all time fave breakfasts... Mexican style Scrabble eggs 98% cooked then finished with a couple laddles of salsa Verde. Poured on top of a bowl of Mexican white rice - flavored with a little bit of onion and chicken powder. My second is refried beans with pickled jalapeno and lots of melting cheese , tacos , tortas , or i like to pour it on white rice ha

[@Barosunflower]

So good!! Thanks❤

[@patavinity1262]

Why not?

[@bamboosho0t]

@patavinity1262 Look up Skip Bayless. Trust me, you'll know why very quickly. 😄

[@patavinity1262]

[@Nerfunkal]

​@@patavinity1262Skip is an intentionally abrasive TV personality and sports commentator, in that business controversy and bombast sells. Lots of hot air blown to get through the segment and then it's on to the next sports "story". Sports media lives off creating something's out of nothing to fill the gaps in between the actual games and the actual scores/outcomes of those games all by talking heads usually not involved in the actual game at all, broadcasting to an audience also not involved in the actual game at all. It's not just an industry it's an empire and Skip Bayless is one of the more noxious players in the game.

[@lhilare]

So simple yet delicious!

[@michaelmcclain9233]

Rick you should show us how to make homemade Adobo sauce

[@spanqueluv9er]

He has.🤦‍♂️

[@jimdolen225]

I often make a very similar breakfast sandwich using my mango-chipotle salsa. Typically I only indulge myself with one after putting in a lot of miles on my bike! Viva Mexico from Bucerias Nayarit.

[@javiergonzalez9077]

Hey send some shrimp to Las Vegas!!.

[@cameltoeinspector6015]

My mouth watered the entire video 💦

[@deniseharrell1591]

We need homemade bubulubu candy!! From scratch marshmallow layer, home made strawberry spice or strawberry balsamic layer, real chocolate coating. Blue Island is counting on you!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@michaeldoxey1240]

Dude, are you still cooking. Man I would 2:01 watch your show on Saturday morning public TV. I'm glad to see that you're still cooking. Looking forward to seeing more. Take care.

[@joePARKS]

Spectacular

[@torsloke]

Made it this morning. Hooboy, that’s a good torta! Even more than that, thank you for the sliced avocado technique, it’s genius. I hated either smushing them trying to cut them after they were peeled, or having to peel each individual slice if I cut them with the peel on. I’ll be using that technique, and making this sandwich often.

[@ketimporta7113]

The best cheese for that is PANELA.

[@nunyabizznizz7326]

oooohh, you are naughty little chef...those look amazing!💪👍👍 i love cream in scrambled eggs...

[@redcomet0079]

The better & the much more humble, Bayless

[@jrayv]

Holy Guacamole Rick, that Torta looks absolutely magnificent! 🥑🧄🌶 Que gaucho Nacho that you start eating that as the video ends...

[@3XTS]

Looks delicious! The only thing I would change is to mash the avocado a bit with a fork and then add it to the sandwich. It stays better on the "torta" instead of falling off on almost every bite. I will be making those soon! Thanks Chef!

[@jbthor9032]

That does look good. But I can't eat all those torture sandwiches in one breakfast. 👍👍👍

[@EMC726]

What alternative do you have for chipotle chile, I’m allergic to the smoke?

[@davisdavis6989]

I couldn’t agree more, under seasoned eggs are very dissatisfying

[@silviaguzman7766]

Una delicia las tortas de huevo 🥚 con tocino 🥓😋😋😋

[@michaeldunivan5364]

It does look good !

[@burresseffects]

Always enjoyed going to BayLess Shoes as a kid.

[@Kain9407]

That looks amazing. Needs a roasted salsa to spoon on or dip in.

[@dougnew8152]

I’m happy to see he doesn’t use DanO’s😝

[@jamesc37]

Looks great ( other than that avacdo ish)

[@ashleys637]

Now THAT'S a breakfast sandwich. I'll have to try this, and a version with chorizo. Chorizo and eggs is a combo straight out of heaven.

[@yugnok]

When I was in Cuernavaca some lady made a torta with eggs, chorizo, beans, avocado, and something else (tortilla strips?)... I''ve tried to recreate it but can't. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had.

[@ellao.2433]

Yummy!

[@Notturnoir]

Rick try cooking your eggs in the cream, not the butter! I put my chipotle sauce directly in the black beans I would do aguacate instead of bacon

[@TESLA-fc6wm]

😕thats too much chipotle,,,,i like just the jalapeño juice in the torta..

[@ccwoodlands1565]

Eh, doesn’t do anything for me.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Good, more for the rest of us... 😂

[@iknowbetterthanyou6260]

every ingredient is fatty except the chipotle, there's no balance at all. Eat that sandwich and head directly to el bano. Typical restaurant style cooking with health out the window. I would use no cream in the eggs, no cheese, acidified guac instead of plain slices, and pickled onions.

[@karenmoseley8646]

Lack of fat is causing dementia.
