Mexican Breakfast Skillet: A little late for Cinco de Mayo


A Cinco de Mayo recipe- late, but better than never....

Last week I told you about my trip to California, well this recipe was born from that trip. This is always what I hope for from a trip like this... inspiration and exposure to new flavors and foods that I never imagined. Foodie Adventures, as I like to call them, are like food blogger recon! So obviously there is a lot of Mexican influence in California, so close and all. Anyways at one of our brunch stops in Joshua Tree I ordered a breakfast polenta and it was like a cake cut into slices, I deduced that it must have been made in a skillet- Inspiration strike 1, then I got my breakfast and there was also black beans in a ranchero sauce, kinda like enchilada sauce as well as eggs and some pico de gallo. Tah-dah- a nice balanced meal- carbs, protein and fiber! Plus it was so damn satisfying and filling. So I had inspiration strike number 2- what if I put all of this together in one skillet! YES!

Why is this a Foodgasm?

This is a completely balanced breakfast, I even added MORE veggies! Super flavorful, just a little heat (not too much it is morning after all). Eggs, spiced polenta, veggies and beans with sauce kinda dance the salsa in yo mouth! Better yet- once skillet to wash! Even better it looks so impressive, but it's so easy!

Red Lentil Coconut Soup with Chicken



Why is this a Foodgasm?

This is sweet, savory, filling, comforting and spicy all at the same time! If that is not good enough it is also low in fat, high in protein and makes you run really fast......okay I lied about the last one!
Found this on pinterest and got the recipe from here. I modified it a bit, of course. I wanted some chicken so instead of water I used chicken broth and added one breast of chicken to it. I think I will make my own foodgasm from this same basic concept soon!
