HUEVOS MAT’CHEROS

MAKING PASSOVER A LITTLE ZESTIER. Ole!!!

Who's to say that passover eats have to feel super jew-y? I mean, a Mexican flare sounds like a fantastic approach to the holiday to me.

One day, I was thinking about tacos. I'm sure it was a deeper thought but for the sake of painting a picture, picture a cartoonish thought cloud over my head with a taco emoji in it. That was me. Somehow I got to thinking about crunchy versus soft tacos. I always go the soft route. Simply put, I like the mouth feel better. Which led me to think that I think the last crunchy taco I had was in college. So weird. It wasn't a conscious decision, it just happened. I started thinking about the scenario where I would want a crunchy taco and really couldn't land on one. UNTIL PASSOVER! I could replace the crunchy taco entirely with matzoh. The wheels started turning and huevos rancheros came to mind—correction, "huevos mat'cheros"! The rest is history!
