Sopapillas

4 cups of flour
2 tsp of baking powder
5 Tbsp of lard
1 tsp of salt
1.5 cups of water

Mix up the flour, baking powder, lard, salt, and water, until it is perfectly mixed. Roll this into a ball, and put it onto a floured surface. Roll this out to about 1/8 inch thick, then cut out triangle shapes. Deep fry this in oil, flipping them once one side is golden, then cook the other side til it is golden. The sopapillas will puff up while you cook them. Once all of your sopapillas are cooked, lay them on a tray to cool.

Sopapillas are by far my favorite way to soak up the delicious broth from this stew. Nothing quite beats some green chile stew with fresh sopapillas! My wife calls it New Mexican soul food.

Also, make sure to drizzle some honey on a few sopapillas for dessert, it's amazingly delicious

OMG!  TGCM!!!!!  That's it!!!!!!  That's it!
 
When I was a kid, one of our favorite things to do, as a family on a Sunday afternoon, was to take a drive to visit my Uncle George and his family.  He married a Tex-Mex lady who was a fabulous cook and every time we visited, my brothers and sister and I would beg her to make this sweet fried dough thing she was known for.  She dusted hers with powdered sugar.  I could never remember the name and have been trying, for 30 years, to find out what they were.  Something like "buen-ollas" was a close as I could come to remembering.  Sopapillas!  Thank you!

Agree! So good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center.
 
But eating sweet with savory, man, awesome idea there.

I'm glad sopapillas bring you back memories. You should make some! I guarantee that first bite will give you an instant shot of nostalgia

There is nothing quite like a warm sopapilla drizzled with some honey, or lapping up some geen chile chicken stew broth.
 
Its funny but scrambled eggs with green chilis and/or chorizo is about the only spicy food i really like for breakfast. Hash browns or home fries on occasion too but i love scrambled eggs with some zip as long as its not from a hot sauce.
 
In Texas.
 
Chorizo and eggs are a vitamin.
 
This store bought chorizo is the onliest one I buy.
 
Made in Texas.
 
Tested on Mexicans.
 
Miguel and Antonio.

I agree with you in that ew Mexican style breakfast in general, is really only the type of spicy breakfast I ever crave.

Yeah, the french toast got both butter and maple syrup. I didn't go for hot sauce, because that big pile of spicy Hatch chile had enough heat to compliment the meal.

Green chile cheeseburger, hand cut fries smothered in green chile con queso, and chile rellenos.

The trifecta of Hatch

For the few that are in prison.
 
On death row.
 
Awaiting execution.
 
And have internet access.
 
And reading this post.
 
When they ask you.
 
What you want for your last meal.
 
Show them this.
 
And watch closely the padre.
 
That comes to give you the last rites.
 
He always shows up at supper time.
 
Wait.
 
Give him one of the rellenos and 2 bites of the burger.
 
I mean c'mon?
 
What do you have to lose?
 
But no papas queso!!!
 
Thats for Jesus only.
 
Sacred food.
 
Having said all that.
 
You deserve to die.
 
Because.
 
You're about to be executed.
 
And you're here.
 
On THP.
 
Adios.
