Well as you can tell by now, I am missing Texas again. Since I canned two batches of homemade salsa I was thinking about what recipes I love to have salsa with & I had to share this one with you all. When I lived in San Antonio, Texas and stayed with my friend Mona's Mom (Lupita) this is a breakfast she would fix quite often. I love the crunch of the corn tortilla mixed with potatoes and the heat of the spices. Mix in the cool fresh salsa, cilantro and sour cream and it is a breakfast made in Heaven. The tater tots and some spices are my addition to this wonderful dish.

    Add some fresh salsa if you can it makes all the difference. You can always make your own in a small food processor or that "bullet blender" they show on TV. LOL (I haven't made enough salsa yet to post my own recipe but when I do I'll be sure to post. This salsa that I posted was made with delicious yellow tomatoes.)
