Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Brunch

We are starting the celebration early with Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Brunch skillet with baked eggs over hashbrowns. It’s packed with bold flavors and colors!

Most weekends I enjoy fixing a nice big Sunday brunch whether it’s just me and Vince or if we have company. The other thing I love is anything Tex-Mex. I also love using my cast iron skillets and own, what I would consider, a good variety of different sizes and shapes. I think my favorite are these cute little square skillets I bought one day browsing the jam-packed shop at Cracker Barrel. I seriously love to slowly wander through that shop; there are little treasures in every nook and cranny. When I saw these little square cast iron skillets, I had to have them. If you haven’t tried cast iron cooking you are really missing out.

Speaking of Cracker Barrel, I read somewhere that they add sour cream to their hash brown casserole which is where I got the idea to add it to my recipe.

This dish is so much fun because everyone can just wrap their own tortilla with their favorite sides. It’s like a breakfast fajita. And seriously, look at those amazing colors! ENJOY Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Brunch in style.

8. When hash browns are done, remove from oven and carve out three holes using a spoon to make the indent.

*If you have a skillet that has a plastic handle, simply wrap the handle in foil so the handle doesn’t melt and now you can use it in the oven.
