Aries is the adventurous and outgoing leader of the zodiac, which means you're probably the one organizing brunch plans. You love seeking out new experiences and you're never afraid to try something new. The bolder and spicier a menu item is, the more likely you are to order it.

So, the next time you're out at brunch with your friends, try a plate of chilaquiles (aka breakfast nachos). Crispy tortilla chips come topped with a fried egg, beans, queso fresco, Mexican crema, and salsa, which you can customize to suit your desired spice level.

Taurus: French Toast
