This keto Mexican hash is my favourite all-day breakfast meal. It's tasty, nutritious and can be prepared in under 20 minutes!
If you are new to the ketogenic diet, this meal will help you get keto-adapted and lessen the symptoms of keto-flu due to its high electrolyte content.
Meal prep tip: make a double batch of the hash and add diced avocado and fried eggs just before serving. This way you can prepare the zucchini meat hash in advance and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Step-by-step
Grease a skillet with ghee. Add chopped onion, cook over a medium-high heat for a minute, and then add green pepper. Stir to combine while cooking.
Cook for about 3 minutes, and then add diced zucchini and chopped tomatoes. Cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chorizo and combine.
Cook for about 5 minutes, add the chard, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Using a spatula, create two wells and crack in the eggs.
Season with salt and pepper and transfer under the broiler. Cook on high for 3-5 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the egg yolks are still runny.
To serve, top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro.

This was so delicious! I swapped somethings like shallots, chipotle peppers, and linguica sausage because that's what I had on hand. I added jalapenos for some extra spice. Phenomenal!
I cannot ever find chorizo without added sugar
Hi Nicole, I like in the UK and I get one with just pork, spices and salt. You could always make your own. There's a recipe in my Quick Keto Book for a DIY Mexican Chorizo - it's super simple.

I tried it out tonight...it was amazing! I had to stop myself from not having the second serving straight away! 😄 x
Thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoyed! ❤️
I'm on an extremely low carb keto diet right now, to kick start my weight loss. So I wanted to cut the carbs much lower. I also count real carbs, and not net carbs. So I cut out the peppers, tomatoes and avocados, and substituted hamburger and spinach bc that's what I had in the house. I also added mushrooms. To give it kick I added cayenne pepper, and topped it off with peach/pineapple chipotle salsa and sour cream. AMAZING!
My total counts for one serving were: 384 calories, 7 TOTAL carbs (not net), 25 g fat and 31 g protein.
Thank you for sharing this Ronnie! If you do follow a very low-carb diet it may be better to avoid salsa with tropical fruits.

There's plenty of misinformation online and if your goal is to lose weight, cutting carbs close to zero won't necessarily make a difference for weight loss. A very low-carb diet is recommended for therapeutic reasons rather than weight loss. I hope this helps!
Thank you for your reply. My overall plan is to stay keto for the therapeutic benefits, but am kickstarting it with the guidance of a certified keto coach. I have already exceeded my first month's goals so I believe I'm on the right path for me. All the best to you and I'll keep reading your recipes!
This was awesome! Thanks so much. It's a keeper.
4th day of 5 day fast.
Mouth watering over this torture but I can make it til tomorrow
and you can bet this will be on my plate.
Thanks.
But what's Mexican Chorizo?
Mexican chorizo is made with fresh meat (pork) and spices - unlike Spanish chorizo that is made with cured meat.
This is yummy and so so easy! I made it with Italian sausage and added some chili for heat. Definitely my new favorite!
Thank you Irina! 😊
I love the video!! Thanks for the share.
Thank you Joey!
