In Taiwan, this dish is regularly used. A tortilla is fried with bacon and an egg, and hot sauce is added to the dish. If you’re a typical finicky eater, you probably won’t like it. Ham or bacon are both acceptable.

Reviews
Very good. I used an immersion blender rather than a regular blender. Frothed up nicely.
This is quite delicious. I don’t have access to Mexican chocolate, so I used 65g Sicilian cinnamon chocolate from Modica. It uses an Aztec recipe, so it’s almost exactly the same as Mexican chocolate. Thank you for the recipe.
