Southwest food has a Mexican influence that uses distinct flavors. Using peppers and jalapenos make food spicier and gives it a kick. For breakfast dishes, use typical breakfast toppings like eggs and potatoes with chorizo. Have hot sauce on hand for all of these recipes, as some people may like their meals hotter than others.
Huevos Rancheros
Huevos rancheros is an easy scrambled eggs dish. Dice up a large white onion, two tomatoes and four green chile peppers. Melt one stick, or ½ a cup, of butter into a frying pan and add all the chopped vegetables. Cook them in the butter on medium heat for 30 minutes. While this is going on, beat 12 eggs together in a bowl. Then pour them into the pan with the vegetable. Mix them around until the eggs are scrambled to the consistency you desire. You can add jalapenos as well is you want it to be more spicy. Add red peppers to the eggs for an extra, spicy kick. Fry some sausages and bacon to serve with the eggs, and have warm flour tortillas as well.
Breakfast Burrito
A breakfast burrito is a twist on the Southwest classic. Make scrambled eggs and then an assortment of things to put in the burrito. Provide an assortment of toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, chopped onions, sauteed green and red peppers. Shredded cheese and diced potatoes should be among to toppings as well. To include meat in your dish, have bacon bits, diced ham, and sausage slices. Everything should be cut small so that it can easily be put in a burrito. Serve refried beans and Mexican rice as side dishes. These can be put in burritos as well.
Breakfast Tostadas
To make these, first fry corn tortillas in a frying pan, or just warm them if you do not want them fried. As with normal tostadas, have toppings for people like tomato, shredded cheese, cilantro and salsa. Scramble the amount of eggs that you need for the amount of people you are serving. Cook a can of black beans --or more if you have a lot of people. Mash the black beans in the pot and then take a spoonful of the beans and spread them onto tortilla. The mashed beans will keep the other toppings from falling. The toppings for tostadas are much simpler than the toppings for burritos because they can't be stacked too high. Ground chorizo can be served with this as a topping for your meat dish with your breakfast.
