MEXICAN EGGS AND RICE
We eat this for breakfast whenever we have leftover rice. It's so simple and tasty. You can use plain rice (and we often do), but we especially like it with leftover Recipe #37782. I think it's best with homemade salsa, or a fresh salsa purchased from the refrigerated section of your grocery store. The best thing about eating salsa at breakfast, is that it changes the way your coffee tastes! Something about Mexican breakfast and coffee are so right together. Ingredient amounts are per person; you can easily scale to the number of servings for your family.

Steps:
- Reheat your cooked, leftover rice.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil or bacon grease in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Grate the cheddar so it will be ready when your eggs are.
- Fry the egg to the your preferred level of doneness. I really like it with the yolk still runny, so when you cut into the egg on your plate, the yolk mixes with the rice and salsa. This takes about 2 minutes cooking on the first side, then I flip it over and cook for about 20-30 seconds on the other side.
- Spoon the rice onto a plate.
- Top with the fried eggs.
- Immediately sprinkle the grated cheddar on top, then spoon on the salsa.
- If you are making more than one serving, you won't need to add the whole amount of oil to the skillet for the next servings, as some of the oil will still be in the pan.
- This is an easy weekday breakfast. On weekends when we want a bigger breakfast, we'll also warm up some canned black beans, and tortillas to serve on the side.

Tips for Making Mexican Eggs and Rice:
- Use day-old rice. This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the rice. This will give the rice plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Add the rice, water, and salt to the skillet or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, heat a little oil in a separate skillet. Add the eggs and cook until scrambled.
- Once the rice is cooked, stir in the eggs, salsa, chili powder, cumin, and cilantro. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, sour cream, or cheese.
