I decided that in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I would share this recipe for Mexican Breakfast Sandwiches. I made some homemade guacamole, toasted some whole wheat English Muffins, found my favorite salsa at the store and I was ready to go! Oh, and I almost forgot: THE CHEESE! Holy moly this cheese was perfect. I was searching the crazy, overwhelming cheese section at my local grocery store when the nice employee pointed me in the perfect direction. Pico de Queso Cheddar. It has the perfect amount of spice and it melted really nicely on these sandwiches. This is such a yummy recipe and you end up with tons of extra salsa and guacamole for leftovers or to go with the tacos you will naturally want to make later. I made four sandwiches for me and Bri, but you can make as many as you want with this recipe.
