If you're following this blog for nothing but healthy recipes, you've come to the wrong place. I like to live a lifestyle that balances the healthy and unhealthy delicious things in life.
I always love having avocados at home. They are always delicious and I could have them with every meal at any time. The other day I had one that was at the perfect ripeness and I needed to use it ASAP. But it was breakfast time! What to do? Make some breakfast nachos, of course! I've made these a couple times before but I thought I would share the idea/recipe with you. The recipe is super complicated so be sure to keep up.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
vegetables of your choosing (I chose mushrooms and tomatoes)
1 avocado
1/8-1/4 cup of shredded cheese (pepper jack works wonderful)
Spices for seasoning (my favorite trifecta: Lawry's, garlic salt, pepper to taste)
tortilla chips (El Ranchero, only the best)
First, I sauteed the mushrooms and tomatoes together with a little salt and pepper.
I then added the eggs and the spice trifecta (Lawry's seasoning salt, pepper, garlic salt).
After the eggs started cooking a smidge, I added the cheese. I continued to stir the eggs until they were cooked all the way through (no raw eggs allowed). When the eggs were ready, I cut up the avocado and topped the eggs with 1/2 of an avocado. Then, instead of using a fork, I used tortilla chips. Voila! Breakfast nachos!
It sounds simple enough, but why have I never had this at a restaurant? I feel like it would be super duper popular. I mean, I'd order it!
I think I eat avocados almost every day, I love them so much! This is an awesome breakfast idea! I don't know why I've never made the leap, because I do eggs with avocado pretty regularly (it's one of my favorite post-run meals) but never thought to add chips. I think you're on to something here :)
ReplyDeleteThis lined CRACKED me up: If you're following this blog for nothing but healthy recipes, you've come to the wrong place.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT.
I love nachos. In fact I ate some last night smothered in cheese and sour cream! Yours look good as well, and I will have to try eating nachos for breakfast, which is something I've never done!
ReplyDeleteHaha, glad I could help you think outside the box! I'm sure you could also do a mediterranean twist if you make your eggs with olives, feta, and tomatoes... and eat it with pita chips! YUMMMM
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think my readers know what I mean and would appreciate that. I posted a recipe for homemade crunchwrap supremes. If they didn't figure it out then, at least I put it all in writing now. LOL
ReplyDeleteBreakfast of champions!!
ReplyDeleteYes! We threw a "Nachos of the World" New Years party a few years back and had like 8 different regional interpretations of nachos... I can definitely see applying that to breakfast nachos.
ReplyDeleteThis party sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I might just steal the idea for our next party. YESS
ReplyDeleteOh... This is like my beloved chiliquiles at Kitsch'n on Roscoe... but waaaaay healthier. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteDo you still want breakfast pizza? Or did this fulfill your craving. :)
ReplyDeleteMy craving for breakfast pizza still exists!!! I'm still dying to try!! This was just a delicious breakfast I had over the weekend that I actually remembered to take pictures of. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is why I love your blog :) (okay, one of many reasons!)
ReplyDeleteI mean, I've made breakfast burritos before but nachos? This is blowing my mind.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of chiliquiles before Maggie told me about it yesterday. Mind was blown.
ReplyDeleteWe need to find a place that serves chilaquiles in the south burbs because now I want to try them again.
