Meatless Breakfast Nachos makes for a great hangover cure. A pile of corn tortilla chips, sweet potato, corn, black beans, cheese, tomato salsa, avocados topped with fried eggs. It’s a crazy combination that works. Serve with Crema Mexicana or Sour Cream.
Meatless Breakfast Nachos is breakfast for a group who have enjoyed a boozy night out. However, one of you needs to be able to stand in front of the stove to make it happen. The rest can be say, less able to handle coordination, or heat from the oven, and well, standing up for 1 1/2 hours. Perhaps you should nominate the chef the night before to make sure your Meatless Breakfast Nachos is served when needed.
I like Meatless Breakfast Nachos because it’s a mixture of nourishing food and, let’s call them, high flavor foods. A dish high in flavor and texture, and has that added bonus of nourishing the body. What else can you ask for from your breakfast?
You may be wondering why Meatless Breakfast Nachos is a great hangover cure. Well here’s two reasons. First, abstaining from meat during breakfast is a good idea. The body requires energy to digest meat, and when you’re low on energy digesting meat can be taxing for the body. Second, Meatless Breakfast Nachos has at least four ingredients that counter the harm of excessive alcohol.
Eggs
Eggs have more vitamins and minerals per calorie than most foods. They’re a good quality source of protein and B12, and most importantly they’re very satisfying.
Avocado
This amazing fruit is a superfood, and packed full of nutrients. It contains what I call good fat, monounsaturated fats, which will improve brain activity and can help with that dizzy feeling you sometimes get after over-indulging.
Beans
The magnesium in black beans can help with that cloudy thumping head, and the fiber will help with digestion.
Sweet Potato
After a night of drinking, sugar levels can become elevated, sweet potato helps regulate blood sugar. It’s also a great source of fiber too.
This platter of Meatless Breakfast Nachos feeds at least four. Add more eggs as required, and if you want to add some bacon, or sausage, go right ahead, but just a little. Otherwise you’ll feel terribly weary and end up back in bed.
