Well if you want to make your own mexican breakfast, try breakfast quesadillas. Go to www.foodnetwork.com and look up that recipe. It looks delicious! And i imagine the prices are about the same.Is mexican food cheap? What's for breakfast?
It depends. If you go to a really nice Mexican restaurant (like Abuelo's), then it's cheaper to get a burger. If you go to taco bell then it's cheaper than American food. I really don't know what you mean. Are you from America? For breakfast there are tequitos or breakfast buritos idkIs mexican food cheap? What's for breakfast?
It is really cheap if youre in Mexico... but if you are not then some stuff could be really expensive..



We usually have scrambled eggs with grenn sauce ( you can put either turkey, sausages, bacon, chorizo) and of course some tortillas ;)



Green sauce recipe:



Boil 5 Tomatillos (green tomato) .. when they are boiled then blend them with



1/2 small onion

2 cloves of garlic

1 tbspoon chicken broth



After blending put the sauce in a small pot and boil for about 10 min ( put salt and pepper)



Enjoy!!
There's no such thing as a breakfast burrito or a quesadilla w/ eggs, these are entirely American inventions and crap if you ask me.



Mexican food is pretty much the same all day long, there are always going to be beans and tortillas, and rice most of the time as well. Eggs are usually involved at breakfast time, but are eating all day too.



Chile rellenos, chilequiles, chorizo and eggs, huevos rancheros, etc.



The ingredients are extremely cheap because nothing is required out of a can, which is where extra costs come in. Fresh beans and salsa are much better than canned poo.
