Na-cho Average Breakfast! Delicious Breakfast Nachos Recipe

By Jen

↓ Jump to Recipe

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. Breakfast Nachos - This is Na-Cho average breakfast. Kids and adults will love the flavour packed breakfast nachos. Covered in crispy chorizo sausage, scrambled eggs, fresh salsa, cheese and more! | Taco Tuesday | Breakfast Recipes | Egg Recipe | Mexican Recipe | Family Friendly Recipe | Nacho Recipe |

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.

Breakfast nacho sausage meat We like purchasing our sausage meat in sausage casings, this way we can use only what we need and easily freeze the rest. 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.

Toppings for breakfast nachos Next prepare the pico de gallo. Feel free to use your family's favourite prepared salsa, but we prefer freshly made pico de gallo. 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.

Breakfast Nachos on the baking sheet And, now it's time to assemble the nachos. Get the kids in on this part. 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.

Breakfast nachos with cheese Pop the sheet pan into the oven, under the broiler, until the cheese is melted and the chips start to brown.

breakfast nachos with melted cheese Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter and serve with sliced avocados, additional salsa, sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Breakfast nachos Enjoy.
