Southwestern Breakfast

This is one of my favorite breakfasts. It's kind of a spin on a dish my (soon to be) sister-in-law often makes when we go camping. She's a fancy camper. I like her. Sometimes I call it fiesta fried eggs, today I'm calling it southwestern breakfast. And look what I did guys, I made the egg a heart! 

I bet your reaction was either: A.) Awwwwwwe! or B.) Lame. Grump, grump, grump.

I guess Valentine's Day is sort of polarizing, or maybe it's just me.Here's the secret to making heart shaped fried eggs: a heart shaped cookie cutter thingy with a handle (I'm pretty specific huh?). You could also use a regular heart shaped cookie cutter (sans the handle) just be careful as you remove it because the metal will be hot. Duh.Here's the anatomy of this southwestern breakfast (but you can customize it as much as you like):

-Fried corn tortilla or a few crushed tortilla chips
-Cooked, seasonsed black beans (I usually season with: cumin, garlic salt, and a little hot sauce.)
-Optional: lightly satueed vegegables like chopped onion and bell pepper (or salsa)
-One slice of pepper jack or cheddar cheese
-Fried or poached egg
-Fresh avocado and cilantro

Easy to throw together and absolutely delicious—not to mention a pretty healthy breakfast too. xo. Emma

Sounds wonderful! I'm a breakfast lover, and am always on the look out for new combinations!

That looks and sounds amazing! And pretty simple, too. We are big egg eaters at my house, so new recipes are always welcome.

And I will admit, I was the grump choice with the heart! Tehe. Even though I'm married, I think Valentine's is silly. I try to put a little effort into it though because I know hubby likes it. And he usually helps my feelings for it by surprising me on a random day before Valentine's. Win win.

I used to work at a public market, and when I did the opening shift I would get a similar dish to this for breakfast from the Mexican food stall. I loved it because it kept me so full for so long (way more than a muffin or something similar would!).

YUM-MY! We love cilantro, black beans and avocado on lots of things around our house, but I never think to pair them with eggs. This sounds so good.
Thanks for sharing. :)

I eat eggs and avocado toast every day for breakfast, and I think adding black beans and a tortilla instead of the bread would be a great switch up! Thanks for the suggestion :)
