Maple Chorizo Breakfast Skillet

Maple Chorizo Breakfast Skillet

Healthy Fact of the Day

This Maple Chorizo Breakfast Skillet offers a mix of nutrients but is high in calories and fat. Sweet potatoes provide fiber, vitamins A and C, and complex carbohydrates. Eggs are a great source of protein and contain essential amino acids. To make it healthier, consider using lean turkey chorizo or reducing the amount of chorizo and adding more vegetables. You could also use a sugar-free maple syrup alternative to reduce sugar content. The addition of bell peppers increases vitamin C intake. While delicious, this dish is calorie-dense, so be mindful of portion sizes. Consider serving with a side of fresh fruit or a small green salad to balance the meal and increase fiber intake.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
