Breakfast

While there are dishes that are normally eaten during breakfast time in Oaxaca, like salsa de huevo and chilaquiles, our food is very flexible. It is as completely normal to have chicken soup at 8 a.m. as it is to have it in the afternoon for lunch. The same can be said about enfrijoladas with a juicy piece of seared tasajo on top. Same with empanadas, memelas, mole, enchiladas, patitas de puerco (pig feet), and many other dishes a lot of people in the United States wouldn’t consider breakfast food.
