A typical Mexican breakfast is Huevos Rancheros, Manchaca, or Huevos con Chorizo. On Sundays after church we have menudo or posole. But usually on the go we grab Nescafe (coffee), burrito, pan dulce, or yogurt. With almost all of our food we have salsa.

Depends on where you live and what you like. For me, it's coffee with a shot of espresso and fresh cut fruit. Sometimes I add coconut milk to the coffee.

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.

First you need Mexicans.

Picture the scene:

5am in Guadalajara – Cesar, his wife Manuela and their three kids, Dominga, Enrique and Humberto all converge bleary-eyed at the kitchen table, ready for another hard day at work. Enrique wipes the sleep away from his eyes and glances round the kitchen, the brightly colored tiles, the rustic wooden furniture, the hammered copper sink, everything he sees reminds him of his beloved homeland.

As Cesar and and the kids contemplate another hard day in the fields, harvesting spinach and cabbage, they eagerly eye Manuela as she makes her way to the table with the sustanence on which they will have to rely on for most of the long hard day.

As Manuela approaces the table, Humberto gives a cry of delight as his favourite, Frijoles (beans) is ladeled high upon his plate.

Dominga lets slip a barely audible sigh, as she realises today is not going to be huevos rancheros day. No eggs, no tortilla and certainly no spicy tomato sauce in sight.

Enrique isn’t bothered either way, as he’s a bit slow and doesn’t really understand what’s going on. By God, can he harvest though!

Breakfast complete, the family make their way to the pick up point to await their lift to the fields. Cesar takes a deep, lingering breath. For a second he imagines he can taste the freedom in the wind. It’s not a bad life, he thinks to himself, as he lifts his satchel to his shoulder and waves at the approaching Jeep.

my mom always makes whats called chile quilles (sp?) and what that is is scrambled eggs with chopped up onion, tomato, tortilla strips, sometimes potato, and sometimes green chile. Mexican coffee is drank in the morning by some, which our coffee has cinnamon in it. Or sometimes we fry chorizo (mexican spiced sausage) with diced potatos and eat that with tortillas. for a fast breakfast, pan dulce (sweet bread, pastries, etc) with mexican coffee or milk.

Well the typical Mexican breakfast usually consists of 5 different components:
Beverages : the usual: coffee, tea, milk, and lots of fresh juices. For a Mexican flair, just add a pinch of ground cinnamon on top of the coffee grounds in your coffeemaker.

Bread and Eggs(any of the fav including fried eggs, look at Huevos Rancheros or Huevos Motulenos. Scrambled – try Huevos Revueltos).

Meats: Mexican sausage, such as chorizo or longaniza, can be sauteed and served. Bacon and ham are as equally popular here as overseas. Chilaquiles is a great, easy dish that combines stale corn tortillas with meat, cooked red or green salsa, onions, and cheese.

Sides: Salsa is on every table for every meal

Hope this helps
