That really is not fair - posting good Mexican food in front of me when I am so far from a good Mexican restaurant!

From a photo point of view though, it would have been nicer to have got the whole place setting in it. Arrange the knife, fork, plate and condiments with some good lighting to put it into a nice context. As it stands at the moment it makes an interesting snapshot rather than a good photo. Perhaps taking the picture from directly above might have been better.

Good luck taking pictures of architecture in Mexico city. There is so much to photograph - particularly around the main square (I remember there is a hotel in the corner with a spectacular glass roof but I can't remember its name at the moment.)

Hola Ninfa - this may be one of the most appetizing postings I ever saw on TE ;-) It looks so crisp and colorful, and the way it is presented on the beautiful blue plate really makes for a delightful ensemble. Great idea of you to include some recipe details in the note. Okay I need to stop looking at it now because it really makes me hungry ...

sluuuuurpppp!!!!

NInfa;

Esta vez te pasaste!!! los colores y la increible descripcion que das de la preparacion de los huevos hacen que uno enloquezca por comerlos!!!

Se ven extremadamente deliciosos, una pregunta, en la lista de ingredientes dice 12 tortillas, son doce en realidad?

Otra, se le pone algo de picante?

Despues de tu aporte, me quede pensando y creo que deberiamos hacer un TrekFood o algo asi donde compartieramos las recetas tradicionales de cada pais, por que no?

Un abrazo hambriento!!!

Lastima que le incluyeras jamon al mismo... como soy vegetariano, debere probar la receta sin el... Si te decides a preparalo de esa forma, me avisas que me tomo el primer avion y lo compartimos con mucho gusto :)
Excelentes colores y definicion... Felicitaciones por la originalidad y por tu destreza culinaria.

French breakfast no, american breakfast no, continental breakfast no, just ninfa breakfast

Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see Yucatan
See the girls in Mexico
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do
Could we have kippers for breakfast

J'ai faim rien qu'à voir cette assiette bien remplie. Et dire que ces deux derniers jours j'ai oublié mon casse-croute... Cela m'apprendra... en tout cas merci de me mettre en appétit de si belle manière. Et merci pour la recette...

I didn't eat a breakfast in Mexico city because I arrived there arround 11:00 am and the day after, I had a plane very early and no pesos left...
But anyway, I eat such breakfast in some hotel or restaurant of other Mexico cities... They were all delicous... This is a nice presentation that give me hungry! Bravo, ninfa!
