Breakfast Tacos by Husband!!

On the rare occasions I allow The Husband into the kitchen, he tends to bring the culinary sexy back in epic portions.  There is nothing hotter than the pulsing biceps of my gastronomical genius manhandling  a garlic press.  Today he exercised his talents in the art of breakfast taco-ery!

I do have to admit, these are so ungodly spicy I am crying tears of joy.



Ingredients
2 medium (2-3" diameter) potatoes (we like red or white due to the delicate nature of the skin)
1 can organic black beans
1tsp ghost pepper infused sea salt (if you cherish your stomach lining, you might want to downgrade to something more conventional.  In that event, you might want to add some cayenne and chili powder to add a little flava.)
Fresh ground peppercorns (The Husband is totally digging his new mortar and pestle)
Olive oil
1 Jalapeno
2 cloves garlic
Tortillas!
Saaaaaaalllllllsa!
(The Husband is not a fan of cooked onions, but I am.  If it were me in the kitchen, I would have chucked in 1/2 of a chopped up medium onion)

Assembly Instructions
Thoroughly wash then puncture potatoes with fork.  Toss in microwave (or oven) and cook until tender.  If you're microwaving with an 1100 watt oven, this generally takes 2:45.  Don't forget to flip potatoes every minute or so.

Coat the bottom of a skillet with a bit of olive oil.  We really don't measure things in this house, so don't ask how much oil it takes to coat a pan.  Warm the oil with medium heat, but make sure it doesn't smoke.  Olive oil hates people that ask it to get too hot.

Chuck yer taters and peppers into the pan.  Manhandle the hell out of the garlic (insert steamy scene where Husband wields his mighty garlic press).  Toss in your peppercorns and salt.  Let those bitches brown.

Strain and rinse your black beans thoroughly with cold water.  Go ahead and toss them in with the taters so they have the opportunity to collaborate with their peers.   Protein, meet starch...  Nice to meet you!

Warm your tortilla either in an oiled skillet or in the microwave with a damp paper towel.  Dump a metric crap-ton of hot tater+beans onto your 'tillas then garnish with salsa.

That's about it, happy noshing mis amigos!
