I'm not much of a chef, but I whipped up some breakfast tacos that were pretty damn good today, and I thought I'd share the recipe because it turned out surprisingly delicious. Those fans of breakfast tacos will likely understand, and those new to the breakfast taco really out to acquaint themselves with this delicious breakfast (brunch or brinner) medium.
The recipe is simple for a single serving (increase quantities appropriately if more is desired):
2 eggs
1/4 cup fresh/frozen/canned corn
1/4 cup veggie crumbles/taco-seasoned textured vegetable protein (or real meat if preferred)
onion powder
ancho chile powder (or chipotle powder for a smokier flavor)
a pinch of cumin
beat the (thawed) corn and crumbles with the eggs until frothy
cook to desired texture (although I recommend a delicately golden-brown for maximum internal taco coherence)
Top with a medium salsa of preference
and (here's the odd key) ranch dressing (only in the southwest, right?)
Note: I have yet to experiment with a tofu scramble/vegan ranch base yet, as being a student/full-time employee primarily permits convenience foods. Someday perhaps.

I inquire, I respond #2
Do you really want to know more about me, or more about yourselves? Maybe not, but in the interest of further self-exploration and self-aggrandizement, I present the second installment of I inquire, I respond (or IiIr for laziness):
1. Do you file 0, 1, or 2, etc. on your W4s?
2. Have you ever thought about leaping from a tall building - not to die, but to find out what falling that far feels like?
3. Would you, if you could get away with it socially, tell people your unvarnished, abject opinions?
4. What is your earliest childhood memory/how far back can you remember your formative years?
5. If you were forced to give up either the ability to read or the capacity to enjoy music, which would you choose and why?
6. What horror movie would you be in and why?
7. Do you believe the term "racism" is valid? Why or why not?
8. What would you choose to power your dream-car?
9. Where is your ideal place to live?
10. Do you ever have brainstorms while going to the bathroom?
11. If you could get a hold of a time machine, but were only allowed one trip into the past or future (knowing you could not alter anything, merely observe), what would you do with your trip?
(answers forthcoming)
