The Huevo Sandwichero is a glorious lunch delight. Julie wanted me to “handle” the Cinco De Mayo menu this year which included primarily Tacos de carne asada (grilled beef tacos) and Tacos de pollo (chicken tacos). This is the base for the Huevo Sandwichero.
I’ve tried to recreate the delicious flavors generated from our local Taco Bus. As far as I can tell, a large part of the secret is in the garnishings. In this case I cut up a white onion, red radishes, fresh cilantro, lime slices, and ripe avocado.
For the Cinco De Mayo festivities, we ate the above on corn tortillas with fresh chicken and flank steak (with secret rub). Delicious! But after the party, I had a load of garnishings all cut up and ready to go, but no more meat and tortillas. That’s when the Huevo Sanwichero emerged.
I scrambled an egg (lightly salted and black peppered), and toasted a piece of fresh sourdough bread. Then layered the garnishings from the Cinco De Mayo party. I’m telling you this sandwich is amazing. My plan is to live off of it until the garnishings dissappear completely.
Stretching the garnishings has made me want to not only “handle” Cinco De Mayo again, but bring in the garnishings for Huevos Sandwhicheros on the Cinco de each montho (at least once a month).
