Don't fall into the habit of not adding some flavor to your morning breakfast (because there's midnight breakfast too y'all :). I have always liked to experiment and add a variety of ingredients to my eggs. Don't get me wrong plain egg is good too. But if you had to choose between creme brule and say jello which would you choose? Right...so I mostly grew up adding salsa, jalapeno, and other spicy sources to my foods from an early age and so it's obviously stuck and now well here you have it: Egg with Jalapenos, quite spicy so I recommend adding a tomato. A way to ease your taste buds into trying spicy things without running for a glass of water or turning bright red is to add something else like tomato or onions or both or anything else that would complement your egg.

Also did you know that Mexico is the #1 consumer of eggs? I sure didn't, which may explain why we have so many different egg dishes. Eating egg is good it is delicious, but keep in mind that one cannot or rather should not eat egg everyday. Egg yolk contains many fats that could elevate cholesterol levels. Keeping that in mind, limit how many times a week you have egg for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I usually have it at least two or three times a week, two of which are just plain egg whites with some sort of creative, yet delish combination and the other is a full egg with yolk. Egg is great in moderation and with veggies. Go on now and make these eggs, I promise you will not be disappointed! :)

Mexican Style Egg Breakfast (Huevos Mexicanos)

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tomato (cut in cubes)
  • 1 jalapeno (cut in cubes) 
  • 2 small flour tortillas (cute right?, but if you can't find them at your local grocery store 1 medium flour tortilla would be good too)
Directions

In a small skillet pour olive oil and swish it around to cover the entire skillet. Set the stove to medium heat. In a small bowl place eggs and combine with a fork or spoon. Pour eggs onto skillet and then add tomato and jalapeno. Fold the tomato and jalapeno into the egg for about 1-2 minutes. Set the heat to low and using a griddle or other clean skillet or large pan heat your flour tortilla. And listo <leesto> means 'ready' in Spanish.

Bake and cook with love :)
