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!
