Start your day off right with a zesty breakfast like this Mexican Egg Skillet. The perfect breakfast for Cinco de Mayo!
You have one more day to plan your Cinco de Mayo menu. Why not start it off with a simply delicious breakfast and make this Mexican Egg Skillet? Ben and I would always order from the skillet menu at our favorite breakfast place back in Illinois. The one we ordered most often included potatoes, ham, mushrooms, peppers...the works! This particular recipe is a great base where you will find you can add whatever tickles your fancy. To keep with the Mexican theme, some chopped avocados would be a perfect garnish, along with a drizzle of hot sauce.
What are your plans for Cinco de Mayo? Maybe some chips and guacamole, with a refreshing margarita? 🙂
