Tex-Mex Scramble {quick & easy}

September 21, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

Tex Mex Scramble
Here’s a protein and flavor-packed, quick and easy recipe: Text-Mex Scramble. The base is scrambled eggs, and I use my favorite Tex-Mex fixings. My additions here are suggestions, so go to town with your favorites.

You can do this in so many ways: Make it dairy free using my dairy-free ranch dressing on top, add guacamole, sour cream, top with chips, add your favorite hot sauce, and so on.

The way I develop a recipe that’s quick and easy is usually be accident. I either see a photo of something and build it according to what I have on hand, or like. Or, I take a look at the recipe and then improvise in my kitchen, adding and subtracting until it hits the flavor notes I like. I know this means that it may or may not hit your favorite flavor notes exactly, so you can modify it using my recipe as a base. And that is how recipes are born. And modified. Enjoy!
