A rather standard veg fajita mix served with oven fries coated in an excessive amount of homemade taco seasoning. At the last prep minute I decided to slice up a smoked sausage and crisp it up before adding the veggies to cook. A little queso fresca on top.

We are adding this to the permanent menu.

Cost per person: $2.20 Can you order this anywhere? No place serves oven fries but there are Mexican places that have French fries they could dust with some seasoning before topping with fajita veg.

    Also, and I can’t stress this enough, smoked sausage with all the n’s in it is tasty. If you’re eating it you’re not looking for health food. In this particular case, it worked out to 2 oz per person. Just enough to brighten things up. I’m going to commit sacrilege soon and do fried rice with smoked sausage. I expect it to be very tasty. And it will be close to 4 oz per person.

    Sometimes you eat smoked sausage because you crave smoked sausage. Not because you’re looking for a healthy protein.

        I grew up everywhere but The South. Then I moved there. I was excited to learn that smoke sausage was always an option like bacon and sausage link or patty. A whole new breakfast protein was suddenly available on every menu.

        Then I moved deeper south. To the Charlotte area. They had a fourth option I had never even heard of. Livermush. I haven’t had smoked sausage since. Because if you are looking for an epic breakfast meat with a strong flavor you can’t beat livermush.

        There is a fifth breakfast meat that is also epic. Chorizo. I was excited when Taco Bell announced they were going to start offering breakfast. And then I was crushed when I found out it wouldn’t include chorizo. I never eat breakfast at Taco Bell. They could change that. They could offer chorizo. A spicy potato soft taco with chorizo added would be amazing.
