Shrimp with Spicy Pesto and Mango Relish
Here’s a delicious seafood dish from the author of BrokeAss Gourmet, featuring lots of delicious fresh herbs, which we know for a fact she picked up at the Mission Community Market! Be sure to check out Bob’s Fish and Poultry right next door to the MCM for great deals on fresh shrimp!
Farmers Market Breakfast Burritos
What better way to start the day than with a veggie-stuffed breakfast burrito? Stop by the MCM tonight to pick up fresh veggies from a variety of vendors, and farm-fresh eggs from Tomatero Farm. Wrap this yummy scramble up in warm whole-wheat tortillas and you’ve got a healthy, delicious and highly-portable breakfast!
Ingredients
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 red onion, diced
3-4 big pieces of rainbow chard, roughly chopped tough stems/veins discarded
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 heirloom tomato, cored and diced
1 carrot, shredded
1 zucchini, diced
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup shredded white cheddar or jack cheese
1 large handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
4 large whole-wheat tortillas
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chard, bell pepper, tomato, carrot and zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until chard begins to soften. Add eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs scramble. Turn off heat and gently stir in shredded cheese and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll egg mixture up in tortillas with guacamole, sour cream, hot sauce or whatever else you like in your burritos. These are also perfectly delicious without added condiments.
Makes 4 large breakfast burritos.
Three’s Community
Zhalisa, Jonny, and Jaylee live about 30 feet from the market, and they are neighborhood friends. Zhalisa works in marketing for a large internet search company. Jonny works at Boogaloo’s. Jaylee is a student and also works on 22nd Street. I caught these three sassy Mission dwellers on a food hunt. Before arriving at the Mission Community Market, they had stopped at the old fashioned Italian deli “Lucas” to buy ravioli. Now, they were selecting good veggies and fruit for the delectable dinner that they planned to cook and eat together. So far, they had lettuces, tomatoes, and a melon so fragrant that I could smell it from a distance. Zhalisa, Jonny and Jaylee remind me that cooking is the best instigator for conviviality. Bien hecho, amigos!
