As a food blogger, I’m always looking for ways to switch up my recipes. On this particular morning, I was on the hunt for something special, something that would inspire me and my readers. That’s when I stumbled upon my aunt’s recipe for Mexican Skillet Breakfast with Rice. Not only is it easy to make, but it’s also full of flavor and perfect for a hearty breakfast. I decided to give it a try, and it quickly became a family favorite!
This dish is so versatile, and I love how it can be adapted to whatever ingredients you have available. I like to mix in sausage, peppers, and onion for a heartier meal, but you can also add in tomatoes, beans, or chorizo for a more flavorful dish. I also like to top the skillet with a sprinkle of cheese and a few slices of avocado for added texture. The options are endless!
I’m so happy to share this family favorite with you! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Bon appetit!
Tip: If you don’t have any frozen corn, you can use canned corn instead. Just be sure to drain it before adding it to the skillet.
Variation: For a heartier meal, try adding in cooked sausage, peppers, or chorizo.
