Mexican Breakfast Bowl

Serves 2

 

Ingredients:

 

Corn and Tomato Salsa

• 200g cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered

• ¼ cup chopped coriander

• 1 tablespoon lime juice

• 1 cup of corn kernels

• ¼ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

 

Scrambled Eggs

• 4 eggs

• 2 tbsp of milk of choice

• ¼ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

• Freshly ground black pepper (to your taste)

• Pinch of dried chilli flakes

• 2 tsp. olive oil

• ½ cup grated cheddar cheese, optional

 

Everything Else

• 2 cups baby spinach leaves

• 1 ripe avocado, smashed

• Your favourite tomato salsa, (optional)

• 2 multigrain tortilla wraps (I prefer Helga’s)

 

Method:

Corn and Tomato Salsa

• In a small bowl, combine all the salsa ingredients. Stir to combine, and set aside to marinate while you make the remaining components.

 

Toasted Tortilla Wrap

• Turn grill onto 220C.

• Lightly spray each tortilla wrap with olive oil spray.

• Place under grill until light brown colour is achieved on each side (turnover after first side turns light brown).

• Cut tortillas into 8 wedges each.

 

Scrambled Eggs

• In a medium bowl, scramble the eggs with the milk, salt, ground black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. In a medium non-stick pan, warm 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat and ensure base of pan is evenly coated. Whisk your egg mixture one last time and pour it into the pan.

• Scramble the eggs by pushing the mixture around the pan until it’s about 90% set (approx. 2 minutes).

• Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the cheese, if including.

 

Assembling The Bowl

• Place 1 cup spinach leaves at the base of each bowl.

• Then add scrambled eggs, corn and tomato salsa (leave any watery tomato juice in mixing bowl) before topping with smashed avocado.

• Place tortilla wedges in layered fan arrangement at edge of bowl.

• Season with salt and pepper as desired.

 

Not Only Delicious, But Also Nutritious Because:

• Tomatoes are a wonderful source of vitamin B6, C, K, beta-carotene, potassium and manganese.

• Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin with powerful antioxidant properties. It also helps the body form and maintain connective tissue, including bones, blood vessels and skin. Additionally, vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron from food.
