Nachos for breakfast? Oh yes. I went there.
Several months ago I shared a recipe with you for sweet breakfast nachos. Sweet is good. Sweet and savory is good. But this time, these are all about the savory.
Scrambled Breakfast Nachos
Serves 1
Ingredients
olive oil cooking spray
2 corn tortillas
fine sea salt
1 egg + 2 eggwhites OR 4 eggwhites
hot sauce (I used green jalapeno Tabasco sauce)
black pepper
1/2 cup vegetarian refried beans
half a ripe avocado, chopped
salsa
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
2. Cut each tortilla into 6 to 8 “chips,” depending on how big you want them to be. Place the chips onto the baking sheet. Spray them generously with the cooking spray and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake the chips for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch them carefully to ensure that they do not burn.
3. While the chips are baking, beat the eggs, hot sauce, and pepper together and scramble over medium heat.
4. While the eggs are cooking, heat the refried beans on the stovetop or in the microwave.
5. Once the chips, eggs, and beans are prepared, assemble the nachos in the following order: chips, eggs, refried beans, avocado, salsa, and any additional toppings that you desire.
There are some foods that I could eat for every single meal. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Snack. You name the time and I will eat it. Pizza is definitely one of those foods. And now, nachos are too!
Sure, you could go really easy and buy store-bought chips. But in all honesty, once you make your own tortilla chips you will not go back. They are super simple and easy to make, and you control everything that goes into making them. You cannot beat that! Feel free to go wild with the topping choices on these babies, too. I think avocado is a must, but adding peppers, tomatoes, and/or olives would be great additions too!
And a little PicMonkey fun for you 🙂
Which “nontraditional” breakfast foods do you love?

Um, this looks divine, haha. I want those for breakfast now! Nachos in any form are the way to my heart!
Aren’t nachos just the best? And..it turns out, they are great for ANY meal!
I adore nachos, I can’t believe I’ve never tried his before!
When I was eating these I thought that same thing…sometimes the most obvious things take us FOREVER to think of 😉
you always come up with the most creative nacho recipes.. which trust me, im not complaining one bit 🙂
Yeah…I am starting to think that the possibilities for nacho toppings/combinations are pretty much endless, which I am thinking is a REALLY good thing!
Yessssss. I could definitely eat these all the time! And avocado is absolutely a must! : )
Oh definitely! I have made nachos without avocado before and I always ask myself, “what was I thinking?”
Ahh okay now, this looks fabulous! Will definitely have to try it, thank you so much for the amazing recipe!!
You are SO welcome! Thank YOU for reading 🙂 Let me know if you try it!
Too perfect! I love the vegetarian refried beans from TJ’s. This would be a fab change-up from my usual sweet breakfasts. Believe it or not, I’m getting sick of oatmeal!
Haha, this is the perfect breakfast for when you want something savory! I tend to go more sweet during the week and more savory or sweet/savory on the weekends.
Yum! I want to make these right now! Too bad I’m at work. ;p
Darn work! I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if you left if you told them you NEEDED to make these 😉
Oh yum! I could eat nachos for every meal, these look tasty!
I like the way you think! Nachos for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack are ALWAYS the perfect way to go.
I love the looks of this! I need to make my own tortilla chips more often.
Me too! They are SO easy to make but I forget to do it sometimes. I want to find blue corn tortillas and make those into chips next.
I’ve had many many variations of nachos in my day but NEVER breakfast nachos. This needs to happen soon!
I think it does too!! I am convinced that nachos are the new “pizza” and can be eaten for every meal 😉
Yum these look absolutely delicious! I’ve just found a place nearby that makes amazing corn tortillas! I need to pick some up so I can try this.
Yes, you absolutely should! It is awesome how easy they are to make 🙂
I mean, nachos are practically a food group for me, so the fact that you had them for breakfast makes perfect sense 🙂
I’m toootally with you on homemade tortilla chips. I do it all the time, and now I don’t like them any other way. So simple and a great party pleaser.
As for this breakfast, as a lover of all things Mexican food-related, I know it’s something I would enjoy 🙂
I bet you WOULD enjoy this, Jamie! And I am glad to hear that you are on board with the homemade chips. I am sad that it took me so long to discover how fantastic they are!
i LOVE this idea! totally adding it to my to make on the weekend list. 🙂 perfect for Luke’s little hands too!
It is definitely the perfect weekend breakfast and I am sure Luke would enjoy it…might be a bit messy, but that’s all part of the fun right? 😉
