Josef’s Breakfast Fiesta

One night I was hungry, and I needed a new recipe for newsletter #29. So, I looked in my fridge and found eggs, spinach, avocado, turkey bacon, salsa and an orange, and asked myself, “How can I make something yummy and quick with this stuff?” With my hodgepodge of ingredients I created what I am now calling a “Breakfast Fiesta” because it was vaguely Tex-Mex and it was freakin’ awesome.

Ingredients

1/4 cup sliced ripe avocado	80 kcal
1/4 cup salsa	18 kcal
2-3 cups spinach	20 kcal
1/2 to 1 orange	43-86 kcal
1 or 3 whole eggs	70-210 kcal
2 or 3 egg whites	17-51 kcal
2 or 4 pieces turkey bacon	40-80 kcal

Instructions

1. Begin cooking turkey bacon. While bacon cooks, begin wilting spinach in the pan that you will be cooking your eggs in.
2. Add eggs and scramble with spinach. Flip turkey bacon.
3. Cut up avocado, and add to eggs. Cut up 1 to 3 slices of the turkey bacon and add to eggs.
4. Turn off heat under eggs, and mix well. Transfer to plate and top with salsa, and serve with remaining bacon and orange.
