Low-Carb Tex Mex Migas (keto, primal, vegetarian)

Move over scrambled eggs, there’s new eggs in town and they’re causing a stir! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good simple scramble but sometimes it’s good to shake things up a bit right guys? Ready in just 15 minutes this Keto Tex Mex Migas is one of the tastiest easy egg breakfasts there is. Just make sure to have some keto tortilla chips and you are good to go!

The crunch from the low carb nachos against the fluffy, flavoursome eggs really makes it the king of breakfasts. I love to serve this one for brunch on a Sunday. It’s great one for sharing.

Feel free to add avocado and hot sauce to serve, this makes it extra tasty. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted). Prepare and bake the keto tortilla chips if you don't have any. The tortilla chips can be made in advance and kept in an airtight container for up to a week.

  2. Whisk the eggs, salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl and add 1/4 cup of grated cheese (half of the total amount).

  3. Heat the ghee or butter in a non-stick frying pan on a low-medium heat. Add the chopped peppers, onion and jalapeño. Fry for 3 – 4 minutes until the onions become translucent. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 further minutes. Add the garlic for 1 further minute. Add the eggs and cook to your liking.
