Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup grits, gluten free
salt
1/2 cup grated cheese (A combination of cheddar and Monterrey jack is very good.)
1/8-1/4 cup chopped green chili pepper
2 eggs
3 ounces grilled steak or 3 ounces grilled pork, thinly sliced
1/2 medium avocado, diced
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 serrano chili pepper, minced
1 roma tomato, diced
lemon juice
salt
pepper
fresh cilantro, to garnish

Steps:

  • Bring the 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, whisk in grits and season to taste with salt. When grits return to boil, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • While grits cook prepare the avocado salsa by combining the avocado, onion, pepper and tomato. Sprinkle liberally with lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in cheese and green chili. Cover and allow to rest while cooking the eggs.
  • Cook eggs in a lightly seasoned skillet to your liking; i.e., sunny side up, over easy, etc. When finished cooking eggs toss the sliced meat onto the hot pan and toss to just warm.
  • To assemble, divide the grits between 2 shallow bowls. Top each with a cooked egg, half the meat and a generous helping of avocado salsa. Sprinkle all with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired and serve.
