In honor of #BreakfastWeek I thought it would be really interesting to see what types of traditional breakfasts people eat around the world! Some things I found more surprising than others, but mostly this research just made me one hungry guy! Here’s a few dishes you can expect to see if you visit these places:

Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican breakfast and it is DELICIOUS! Think morning nachos…tortilla chips, topped with a spicy red sauce, cotija cheese, avocado and a fried egg. So dang good!
