Who doesn't love nachos? My family LOVES nachos. The best thing about these nachos is what a great easy and healthy breakfast option they are! This recipe for breakfast nachos is another easy healthy breakfast recipe we've shared.
We have switched from taco Tuesdays to nacho Tuesdays. Nachos have become a blank canvas and we have fun topping them with different toppings. So, I took a chance and moved tacos from a dinnertime dish to a breakfast dish. These breakfast nachos are na-cho average breakfast (coined by my 11 years old).
Chips topped with crispy chorizo, silky scrambled eggs and fresh pico de gallo make an awesome addition to any Sunday morning routine. What would you add to your breakfast nachos?
Breakfast Nachos
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 chorizo
3 mild Italian sausages
8 large eggs
pinch of cumin
1 tablespoon milk
4 plum tomatoes
1 shallot
2 avocados
½ cup black beans
bunch of cilantro
225g shredded Monterey jack cheese
bag of tortillas chips
½ cup sour cream
2 limes
Cover a large baking sheet with foil. The nachos will be cooked under the broiler, so you will need to use foil, not parchment paper.
Now, prepare the scrambled eggs. Whisk together the eggs, a pinch of cumin and 1 tablespoon of milk. Cook and scramble the eggs in a large skillet over medium heat. Once cooked through set aside.
Breakfast Nachos
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 chorizo sausage
- 3 mild Italian sausages
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon of cumin
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 4 plum tomatoes
- 1 shallot
- 2 avocados
- ½ cup black beans
- bunch of cilantro
- 225 g shredded monterey jack cheese
- 1 bag of tortillas chips
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 limes
Instructions
- Cover a large baking sheet with foil. The nachos will be cooked under the broiler, so you will need to use foil, not parchment paper.
- If you are using sausages in the casing, cut a slit in the side of the sausage and push the meat out of the casing before cooking. Coat a large skillet with the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage meat and cook the chorizo and Italian sausage until brown and crispy. Break the meat into small pieces, so it can be easily scattered across the chips. If your family likes spicy dishes, don’t be afraid to add more chorizo sausage. Set aside.
- To make pico de gallo, remove the seeds from the plum tomatoes and slice tomatoes into small pieces – place in a small bowl. Slice the shallot into small pieces. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir and set aside.
- Now, prepare the scrambled eggs. Whisk together the eggs, a pinch of cumin and 1 tablespoon of milk. Cook and scramble the eggs in a large skillet over medium heat. Once cooked through set aside.
- Begin with a layer of tortillas chips – cover the entire baking sheet with the chips. Scatter on the cooked sausage meat, the eggs, the salsa and top with the cheese.
- Pop the sheet pan into the oven, under the broiler, until the cheese is melted and the chips start to brown.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter and serve with sliced avocados, additional salsa, sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.
