This Mexican breakfast bowl recipe is a hearty and flavorful dish that will give you plenty of fuel to start your day! It’s chock full of bold flavors like tomatillo sauce, pickled red onions, tangy Cotija cheese and cilantro for a delicious South-of-the-border flavor combination.
Mexican Breakfast Bowl Ingredients
You can make this breakfast bowl with homemade or store-bought ingredients. I highly recommend making my homemade tomatillo sauce as the base for this recipe, but you can also buy your favorite green salsa for a quick preparation. (I recommend 505 Southwestern Flame Roasted Hatch Green Chiles).
The ingredients you’ll need are:
- Tortilla chips (I like Calidad Mexican Restaurant Style, shown below)
- Tomatillo sauce or green chile salsa, homemade or store-bought
- Crumbled Cotija or feta cheese
- 1 fried egg
- Pickled red onions (optional but delicious)
- Cilantro leaves
- Sour cream
Making the Breakfast Bowl
To prepare your bowl, get all of your ingredients together and begin layering the dish. I like to put the chips on the bottom, followed by the tomatillo sauce or green salsa and fried egg. Then just sprinkle the bowl with your desired amount of pickled red onions cilantro, Cotija cheese and sour cream.
