The Breakfast Tacos from a few weeks ago have caused a Mexican Breakfast Obsession to flare up!  I’ve been devouring the classics on this list and I hope you find some new ideas here. 

These dishes also double as the world’s most efficient alarm clock — especially if someone else is making them and the smell wakes you up!   

And once you get in the habit of making these dishes on lazy weekend mornings you’ll find that they make their way into your dinner routine too ๐Ÿ™‚

Note:  In general I prefer tomatillo-based Salsas with eggs, but keep in mind that you can always use a classic tomato-based Salsa with your eggs if your palate is asking for it.

Click the name of the recipe and it will take you to a page on this site where you can print out the step-by-step instructions. 

14 Easy Mexican Breakfast Recipes

 

Breakfast Tacos

This is the dish that started my recent breakfast crusade.  The fixings are negotiable, but the homemade Salsa Verde is a must as it makes these tacos incredibly satisfying!

Chorizo Breakfast Burritos

I think one of the reasons I like the above Breakfast Tacos so much is they remind me of Breakfast Burritos ๐Ÿ™‚  There’s something awesome about flour tortillas and morning eggs, and this Breakfast Burrito recipe is a perfect way to master that combo.  Note that substituting chipotles for jalapenos in the homemade Salsa will give your burritos a smoky, fiery kick.  So good!

It would be easy to give all the credit to the chorizo in these epic breakfast burritos. But it's the tomatillo salsa that really amps them up. So good! mexicanplease.com

 

Huevos A La Mexicana

Adding jalapeno to your scrambled eggs is a great alternative to coffee!  This is such a simple dish to make and itโ€™s a great upgrade for plain olโ€™ scrambled eggs.  Some tips:  go easy on the onion or it will dominate too much, and drain the tomato a bit so there isnโ€™t too much moisture in the pan when cooking the eggs.

These Mexican Scrambled Eggs are perfect for lazy weekend mornings: well-balanced, easy to make, and they have real kick. Try draining the tomatoes before adding them to the pan, so much better! mexicanplease.com

 

Huevos Ahogados 

Have you ever had eggs poached in homemade Salsa?  If not, give this recipe a try โ€” the broth is delicioso and if you dip warm, cheesy tortillas into it then all is well in the world for a few mouth-watering moments.

Poblano Breakfast Potatoes

I love using the oven for hands-off morning potatoes and you’ll see it often in this list.  Just chop ’em up, throw ’em in the oven, and 30 minutes later you’ve got some awesome papas that you can use for quick meals.  This batch comes with the smell of roasting poblanos wafting through the house as an added bonus ๐Ÿ™‚

Despite being hands off these Poblano Breakfast Potatoes have incredible flavor. Chop 'em up, throw 'em in the oven, and 30-40 minutes later breakfast is served. So good! mexicanplease.com

 

Baked Breakfast Taquitos

Here’s another great recipe that lets the oven do all the work while you get in an extra morning snooze.  Roll up your egg mixture in some corn tortillas, brush with oil, and let the oven crisp ’em up!

Migas

This is the perfect breakfast dish for lazy weekend mornings.  Combine crispy tortilla strips with a bacon-egg mixture and youโ€™ve got the gist of these Migas.  Green salsa as a topper?  Of course!  

Migas are the perfect Mexican breakfast dish for lazy weekend mornings. We're topping this version with a freshly made Salsa Verde and it is delicious! mexicanplease.com

 

Chorizo And Eggs

Such a simple and satisfying dish!  This version uses 2 jalapenos but you can always dial back on the jalapenos if you want a milder version. This recipe yields a bigger batch and I typically use the leftovers to make breakfast burritos.  Win win ๐Ÿ™‚

I like Chorizo and Eggs best when it's topped with a fiery Salsa Verde. Plus you can use all the leftovers to make breakfast burritos! mexicanplease.com

 

Huevos Rancheros

If you’ve got homemade Salsa on hand then you don’t need much else for an authentic batch of Huevos Rancheros. I used  Tomato Jalapeno Salsa for this batch and also added some freshly made refried beans — so good!

Chilaquiles with Black Beans, Avocado, and Pickled Jalapenos

This recipe is evidence that Chilaquiles are best served with a dose of improvisation.   I used Black Beans, Avocado, Pickled Jalapenos and a sprinkling of Cotija cheese for this batch.  And of course, a homemade Salsa ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Masa Harina Cornbread

I’m including this cornbread in the list because I like to warm it up in the morning, coat it with butter, and then dredge it in the yolks of some over-easy eggs ๐Ÿ™‚  Keep in mind that you can always use cornmeal to make your cornbread, but I’ve found that using Masa Harina will make it a bit more “corny” and it gives you a nice bump in flavor. 

I used Masa Harina instead of cornmeal in this batch of cornbread and it was delicious! I also used chipotles in adobo for some kick ๐Ÿ™‚ mexicanplease.com

 

Huevos Divorciados

This classic Mexican breakfast dish is served with two freshly made Salsas just in case you’re not getting along with your partner!  Note that this dish is typically piled on top of corn tortillas, but I serve it over a bed of spicy potatoes and chorizo to make it a bit more filling. 

This classic Mexican breakfast dish is served with two freshly made Salsas -- yes, two! I use a bottom layer of potatoes and chorizo, but corn tortillas are also a good option. mexicanplease.com

 

Spicy Bean And Egg Burritos — Freezer Friendly!!

Make a big batch of these Spicy Bean and Egg Burritos and youโ€™ll get some free meals over the next couple weeks.   The key is to load up the beans with tons of flavor โ€” I used 3 chipotles for this batch, but feel free to use less for a milder batch.  Or more if you want ๐Ÿ™‚

Mexican Frittata

Here’s an easy, versatile recipe for a zippy Mexican Frittata.  I find the chorizo-jalapeno-cheese combo irresistible but you can always make a vegetarian version too.  So good!
