Ingredients
This Mexican breakfast pizza is just 8 simple ingredients — not unless you decide to garnish with a little cilantro, which is optional.
The ingredients include one egg, a little butter, salt and pepper, one low-carb tortilla (be sure to check our review of best low-carb tortillas), half an avocado, half tablespoon of lime juice, a quarter cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and a tablespoon of salsa.
How to Make An Over Easy Egg
An over-easy egg is simply an egg that is cooked on both sides but still has a runny yolk.
Although we're pretty good at cooking an over-easy egg, it doesn't always come out looking perfect. And we're okay that!
For a video and detailed instructions on how to cook an over-easy egg just right, we recommend you check out this page from The Kitchn.
The basic steps to cooking an over easy egg are as follows:
- To begin, you'll use a non-stick pan or any pan that is naturally non-stick, such as a cast iron pan.
- Then, melt a half tablespoon of butter on low heat and spread the butter about so it covers the pan.
- Then, carefully crack the egg and break it low to the pan. According to The Kitchn, you should cook the whites, undisturbed, until they turn white (and are no longer opaque) and there is only about a half inch of unset set white around the yolk.
- After, you'll use a wide spatula to flip the egg. For us, this is the trickiest part since the egg is slippery. To flip the egg, you'll want to slide the spatula under the egg until it's at least to the middle of the egg and fully under the yolk. Then, you'll carefully flip.
- Once you've flipped the egg, you'll season it with salt and pepper and cook for roughly 30 seconds, so the egg sets. Then, you'll use the spatula to remove the egg from the pan. Be careful when doing so, as the egg is still delicate and you don't want to tear open the yolk.
Making the Mexican Breakfast Pizza
STEP 1: To begin, you'll make a quick a guacamole. You'll cut an avocado in half, lengthwise, and spoon out the flesh from the half that doesn't contain the pit (save the half with the pit for later use). On a small plate, you'll mash the avocado with a fork until it turns into a chunky consistency. Then, stir in a half tablespoon of lime juice and season with salt to taste.
STEP 2: Then, you'll warm up the tortilla by heating a pan on medium heat and adding a little butter. After it melts, you'll warm each side of the tortilla for roughly 30 seconds. After, place on a serving plate and spread the guacamole mixture over the tortilla and top with a quarter cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
STEP 3:Then, it's time to cook the egg. For that, you'll melt a half tablespoon of butter in a non-stick pan over low heat. After the butter is melted and spread about the pan, you'll gently crack the egg and let it cook, undisturbed, for a minute or so, until the egg white is no longer opaque and is white. Then, flip the egg and cook for 30 seconds longer.
STEP 4: When it's done cooking, place the egg on top of the shredded cheddar cheese and top with a tablespoon of salsa. Garnish with a little cilantro if you like. Then you're done! Just be sure to let the yolk ooze out when you eat the pizza!

Recipe

Simple Mexican Breakfast Pizza (Low Carb & Keto)
Ingredients
- 1 "fajita" size low-carb tortilla, roughly 6 inches
- 1 large egg
- ½ tablespoon butter
- ½ large avocado
- ½ tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbs salsa — we use Tostitos Salsa
- salt and pepper to season
- Cilantro to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the quick guacamole: Cut an avocado in half, lengthwise, and spoon out the flesh from the half that doesn't contain the pit (save the half with the pit for later use). On a small plate, mash the avocado with a fork until it turns into a chunky consistency. Stir in a half tablespoon of lime juice and season with salt to taste.
- Prepare the tortilla: In a non-stick pan, heat a small spoonful of butter on medium heat. When melted add the tortilla and cook for 30 seconds per side. Remove and put on a serving plate. Spread the guacamole mixture over the tortilla and top with a quarter cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cook the egg: In the same non-stick pan, heat a half tablespoon of butter over low heat until melted. Be sure butter is spread about pan. Gently crack egg and break low to pan. Let it cook undisturbed for about a minute or so. The egg is ready to flip once the egg white is no longer opaque and there is only about a half inch of unset set white around the yolk. When it's ready, flip the egg and cook for 30 seconds longer, so the egg sets.
- Finish and serve; When the egg is done cooking, gently remove from pan with a spatula and place on top of the shredded cheddar cheese. Top the egg with a tablespoon of salsa and garnish with cilantro if you like. Serve immediately.
No need to flip the egg. Add a tablespoon of water and cover with a lid. This helps the egg white set over the top of the yolk.
Yes, I bet that works well. Thanks for sharing this! I'm going to try this next time as I'm sure the yolk turns out perfect.
