Tex-Mex Fiesta Brunch

Sundays are lazy family days where no one wants to do much but enjoy each other's company and good food. This is how my one pot fiesta brunch began. This dish is so fast, easy to make and the best part is clean up is a breeze! Not only that this dish looks beautiful, tastes so good it feels like a fancy brunch and is filling. It is a sure crowd pleasing dish.

This dish is highly versatile. It can be made as healthy as you'd like. e.g substitute the potatoes for cauliflower. Also make it fun by adding bacon or cooked beans. I've used leftover meats from the week from a roast or shredded pork to the dish to make it more hearty. For some crunch we've also topped it off with crushed tortilla chips.Feel free to take it up a notch or down depending on your tastes.
