If you grew up in Texas, you can probably relate to the chokehold Tex Mex breakfasts have on us. Breakfast tacos, migas, chilaquiles… we love them all. A shortage of ingredients one morning led to this dish and we’ve been adding it to the Tex Mex rotation ever since. Naturally, we call this Mexican inspired Shakshuka-like dish Eggs Benavides. Great on its own or as stuffing for breakfast tacos, the smoky, rich flavors in this dish will up level your weekend brunch game!
