Spanish Classic Chorizo & Eggs

Today we will learn how to make a dish my grandmother used to make me when I was a young boy.
We are making a classic Spanish breakfast called Chorizo and Eggs, this is a mouth-watering way to serve up those eggs.

Now my grandmother served them up with tortillas but we are tossing those and replacing it with a side of yummy sauteed veggies and lettuce wraps.

Ingredients    (Serves 2)

Chorizo and Eggs 

  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ pound Mexican chorizo sausage
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 bell pepper, any color
  • 4 tbsp. queso fresco
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Crack a few eggs into a bowl and whisk, then chop the veggies, the tomato, bell pepper, and green onion.
  • Next Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and once it’s hot, add the butter. Then add in the chopped veggies and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for around 8-10 minutes, or until tender, then set aside in a covered dish.
  • Next, remove the chorizo from the casing, (chorizo is a like a spicy savory sausage), squeeze it out of the casing and add it to the skillet. Cook for around 3-4 minutes, make sure to move it around to avoid burning. Once it has browned, add the whisked eggs and mix in. Let it all cook together for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Finally, serve the veggies and the chorizo and eggs plus crumble some queso fresco on top.
  • You can also add low-carb salsa or hot sauce if you want a bit of extra kick to it.
You can have this delicious dish with your morning coffee or even for dinner you can also use a lettuce wrap as a substitute for tortillas.

Keto Poke Bowl

If you love sushi like I do, then you’re going to love this refreshing dish full of healthy fats and flavor without the excess carbs. We will be replacing the rice with low-carb cauliflower rice that will give us similar texture that comes in a traditional poke bowl.

Here is what you need, purchase wild caught salmon or tuna or both and make sure it has been frozen solid for more than 24 hours to ensure the bacteria has been destroyed, once that is taken care of, then follow the directions below

Ingredients               (Serves 2)

Wild Caught Salmon or Tuna

  • ½ lb salmon or tuna, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tbsp coconut amino’s
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
  • ¼ tsp of sea salt
  • 1 tsp. coconut vinegar
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoons of MCT oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 3 tbsp. melted butter
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1 Large Avocado peeled and seeded
  • 1 medium green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium cucumber peeled and chopped
  • 1 bunch of cilantro chopped
  • 3 cups mixed leafy greens

Directions

  1. First, you will wash and pat dry the salmon or tuna, next cut into smaller pieces about ½ inch in size.
  2. Next, in a bowl add the coconut amino’s, fresh lemon juice, sriracha, coconut vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, MCT oil, sea salt, sesame seeds and mix in the salmon or tuna, then place in a covered bowl inside the fridge.
  3. Then, cut the cauliflower into smaller floret chunks to add into the food processor and blend until it has the consistency of rice, but don’t overdo it or your rice will turn into a puree.
  4. Once done, place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and once hot, add the butter, then add in the now riced cauliflower. Also, add on the seasonings, the oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. And cook for around 10 min, make sure to stir it to avoid burning.
  5. Then separate the cauliflower rice into two large bowls, then split the leafy greens in half and place on top of each of the cauliflower rice bowls, next split the marinated salmon or tuna in two and add to each bowl.
  6. Next peel and remove the seed from the avocado and slice, then serve half to each bowl. then thinly slice the green onions and add them on, next chop the cilantro and add to the bowls.
  7. Then peel and chop the cucumber and split between bowls. Lastly sprinkle a bit more of the sesame seeds on each bowl and enjoy!
