Mexico: One Plate At A Time Episodes
Archaeology for Breakfast
We find Rick Bayless somewhere in the jungles of Mexico, pondering the great questions of the ancient world -- like, 'what was for breakfast?'
Back in Chicago, he whips up a plate of Huevos Motuleños -- Eggs Motul-Style, a heady, layered 'short-stack' of Mexican breakfast favorites piled on a tortilla, including fried eggs, chorizo, cheese, peas, beans, plantains, cilantro and salsa. But instead of digging in, he decides to dig down a few layers, like a culinary archaeologist, and investigate just how Mexican -- and just how ancient -- these beloved ingredients are.
