everything i eat, most of which i've made, somewhat properly
layered enchiladas which fell apart because i thought we had more cheese than we did. still a tasty almost-veggie gluten-free dinner though.
chilaquiles with egg and grilled green peppers leftover-using meals are like my favorite thing in the world and chilaquiles are one of the best. we go through a lot of tortilla chips in our house (gluten free!) and some people have lax clipping skills. so: caramelize onion in pan. simmer chicken broth and leftover tomato sauce with a frozen chipotle in adobo, and some cumin. crack 2 eggs onto onions and cover. add stale chips into sauce and transfer onion and eggs on top. turn off heat and cover. grill pepper. 
sinaloa chipotle-infused machaca cazuela from la monarcha bakery and cafe in santa monica, ca. spicy braised beef with a black bean spread and cotija on a toasted bollilo roll. it was huge, but i finished the whole thing because i hadn’t eaten all day after getting up at 5am for my flight and it was 2pm already. delicious and dripping with orangy oil. veggies (and composting) would have been nice but whatever, it was tasty and cheap. when in a unfamiliar location and hungry, it’s sometimes a struggle to find a decent place to eat. luckily, la monarcha was literally the closest eating establishment to where i’m staying, less than a block! i walked for about four blocks (of wilshire blvd) before deciding to turn back. from what i can guess, it’s a local chain. i think i might go again in the morning for a pastry.
Milanesa torta, no cheese, from tortas frontera at o’hare. I’m not sure if I like it as much as the $4 one at la jarochita.
last torta from la jarochita, as we’re moving office.  i will miss you but there will be a whole new selection of food carts to choose from soon.

torta milanesa from la jarochita.  every time i order one of these, i think i’m only going to eat half of it but that never happens.
