Im looking for the real breakfast that most busy people in Mexico eat. For example, if someone asked what is breakfast like in the U.S most would say eggs, bacon, grits, and etc but most people in the U.S don’t have time to make the traditional breakfast let alone sit down to eat. So for the most part people in U.S grab a bagel and Starbucks and hit the road.
What do busy people in Mexico eat for breakfast. Sorry if this is confusing.
The quick version of breakfast at my husband’s family’s home in Acapulco is usuallly a cup of coffee – instant Nescafe is most common, and perhaps a piece of sweet bread (pandulce). My husband usually just grabs a bottle of a yogurt drink as he heads out the door.
If we’re gonna grab something quick off the street, it might be tacos – I like eggs with potatoes or chorizo with eggs as the filling. When I lived in Mexico City, where it’s colder, a quick street breakfast would be a cup of warm atole, and maybe a torta (sandwich) with a tamale inside (yes, that was a bit much).
If we’re going by a market, a typical town market with vendor booths, I’ll look for a fresh juice combo – beet juice with carrots and cucumber is my favorite.
Meanwhile, with my family from northern Mexico, but now living in California, a quick breakfast would be a flour tortilla with beans and maybe eggs or cheese and salsa inside – a breakfast burrito.
