Ingredients:
1 tsp of olive oil
1 huevo- egg (per person)
1 authentic corn tortilla (sold at Mexican grocers- In Montreal try, MAYA Croustilles on Casgrain)
1 avocado, chopped and seasoned with fresh squeezed *lime juice, *sea salt and *cilantro)
2 tablespoons of HERDEZ red salsa for tacos (see photo below) and some extra for serving
2-3 pieces of Nopalitos (tender cactus) - La Costena is a good brand
Cheese for crumbling on top ( pictured here is Beemster Gouda XO)
Step one: Preheat oven to 350 C. Prepare guacamole. Remove pit and chop avocado. Add fresh squeezed lime juice, a dash of sea salt and chopped cilantro. Set aside. On a baking sheet, place a fresh corn tortilla and brush with oil on both sides, alternatively, you can spray both sides with a spray oil. Bake for about 5-6 minutes or until soft a little, but crispy on edges. Remove immediately.
Step two: In a small frying pan, heat oil and add egg. As fried egg starts to cook, add a tablespoon or two of the red salsa. When egg is starting to set, place a lid on frying pan and turn down heat to low. This will steam cook the egg perfectly, and infuse it with the tasty, smoky salsa.
Step three: Take a spatula and place cooked egg on baked tortilla and add the slices of cactus and a large tablespoon of guacamole. Add the crumbled cheese and a drizzle of fresh salsa on top. I also add, a couple of sprigs of fresh cilantro!
In wintertime, I serve this quick and tasty breakfast entree with a nice earl grey tea with honey. In the summer I make watermelon juice to go with it.....
Enjoy this amazingly colourful and flavourful breakfast that will leave you feeling full of energy and zip!
