In some ways this Torta Mexicana resembles quiche; it’s in a crust and combines egg, vegetables and meat. However, that’s where the similarities end. Flour tortillas form the crust and the roasted peppers & chorizo give it a texture and flavor combination that will delight your guests. For a hearty brunch dish serve as a main course with a salad. And for larger parties you can easily double the recipe using a springform pan.
I recently had the chance to explore some of the more unusual sites in Texas. Being such a big state there are plenty to choose from, but they’re spread apart so you need to plan ahead. If you’re looking for something different from the normal tourist attractions, check out some of these really bizarre things to see and do in Texas.
Sitting out in the middle of a field are ten half-buried cars sticking up out of the ground. The Cadillacs are covered in constantly changing graffiti, which although not exactly encouraged, is not frowned upon either. So feel free to stop on by and leave your own contribution to this wild art installation.
2. Eiffel TowerParis, Texas may lack the nightlife of that other Paris in France, but this one has it’s own Eiffel Tower topped with a giant cowboy hat, Texas-style. Better yet, no passport is necessary and you don’t even have to speak French!

Saguaro National ParkA must see for any visit are those giant saguaro cactuses native to this part of the Southwest. The park is split into two sides, east and west of the city. The Western part is lower in elevation with a denser cactus forest. There are lots of parking spots along the way for you to get out and look around or even take a hike. It’s also on the way to the Desert Museum and Old Tucson, which makes it a great day trip.
