Adventure #1: Mexican Breakfast Tart

After I made this one morning and shared it to my Facebook timeline, I received a few comments that I should start a blog and/or YouTube channel to begin sharing my culinary inventions on a budget. I guess that this will be Adventure #1 for this college chef. I hope that you enjoy.

Mexican Breakfast Tart

Ingredients (for each breakfast tart):
  • 1 fajita size flour tortilla
  • 3 large eggs
  • 10-15 frozen tater tots
  • salsa to taste
  • 1 handful shredded mexican blend cheese
Procedure:
  1. Thaw tater tots in microwave, then break them up with a spatula in a small (6-8 inch) skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden-brown (or until warm).
  2. Add eggs to skillet and scramble together with salsa, salt, and pepper to taste.
  3. Once eggs are nearly cooked, add half of the cheese to the egg and potato mixture. Mix until cheese is melted.
  4. Remove all of the tart filling (egg mixture) from the skillet and ensure that the skillet is free of any egg residue.
  5. Place tortilla in skillet then scoop tart filling into tortilla pressing down to form tart shape in skillet.
  6. Sprinkle remaining cheese over tart and let tortilla cook over medium-high heat until toasted. If cheese hasn't melted by then, place tart under broiler to finish melting the cheese.
  7. Enjoy!
