Feeding a bunch this weekend? This recipe is straight from my quirky Tex-Mex brain, and has been through many iterations before I decided to post it. It is a wonderful meal unto itself for a lazy weekend morning. Even though the list of ingredients seems long, it is actually a quick meal to prepare, especially if you keep chopped onions and peppers in your freezer. Bonus: It's easy to half or double the recipe. Try it, I think it will become one of your go-to recipes.
