Why is this recipe a winner?
Nothing beats a tasty savory bowl for breakfast. It’s filled with all things delicious and will make your morning bright and happy! We love these breakfast bowls because they are:
- Easy: And I mean it. It takes a few minutes to put a tasty breakfast bowl together and you can even make some of the items in advance. Not to mention, they are easily enhanced thanks to convenient salsas! My fave addition: CHI-CHI’s Fiesta Style Chile Tomatillo Verde Salsa.
- Flavorful: A good homemade breakfast bowl has the perfect balance between the ingredients and spices.
- Customizable: It’s so simple to add or leave out ingredients in this breakfast bowl recipe.
These breakfast bowls with potatoes are the perfect choice for weekday or weekend breakfasts. They’re so fun to make and are a great change from the usual breakfast sandwich or cereal.
What goes into a breakfast bowl?
I love my bowls to be full of flavor therefore I usually opt for a few key items:
- Salsa: CHI-CHI’s Fiesta Style Chile Tomatillo Verde Salsa added the perfect flavor to this breakfast bowl. CHI-CHI’s products make it easy to add festive flavor to any dish. This Chile Tomatillo Verde Salsa is made with quality ingredients such as tomatillos, fire roasted tomatoes, jalapenos, garlic and a delicious blend of spices. It takes a simple breakfast bowl to a whole new level by adding a zesty kick.
- Eggs: We love making scrambled eggs with Chile Tomatillo Verde Salsa.
- Black beans: These are perfect for a Mexican-inspired breakfast bowl. Beans are great for breakfast and will keep you full for a few hours.
- Potatoes: Good old home fries to compliment the eggs and beans.
- Bowl fixings and toppings: I always use some sour cream, avocados, tomatoes and cilantro for maximum flavor.
How to make Mexican breakfast bowl at home
Start by heating some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Break the eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk them. Pour the eggs into the hot pan and scramble them slowly. Once the eggs are almost cooked, pour CHI-CHI’s Fiesta Style Chile Tomatillo Verde Salsa into the pan and mix with the eggs.
Transfer the eggs into a plate. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent and golden brown. Add in the potatoes and sauté until the potatoes are cooked through. Meanwhile, go ahead and rinse and drain the black beans.
Now it’s time to put the bowls together! Start by placing the scrambled eggs in the bowls. I love adding more salsa at this point. Then add the beans and the potatoes. Finish by adding a dollop of sour cream, a few slices of avocado and tomatoes to each bowl. Your tasty breakfast bowls are ready! Dig in!
Want to change things up in this breakfast bowl recipe?
It’s so easy to elevate things when making your own breakfast bowl recipe. Here are some of my ideas:
- Quinoa breakfast bowl: Add 3/4 cup cooked quinoa to each bowl before adding the eggs and potatoes.
- Chorizo breakfast bowl: Cook some chorizo and serve it with the potatoes and scrambled salsa eggs.
- Veggie breakfast bowl: Leave out the eggs and use sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms and cauliflower instead. Lay the salsa on top of the veggies for maximum flavor.
- Sausage breakfast bowl: Sauté breakfast sausages in some oil and add them to the breakfast bowl.
