Southwestern Scrambled Eggs

Eggs work well as a base for combining other kinds of food together for a complete and nutritious meal. Southwestern Scrambled Eggs contain ingredients that provide many different benefits.

The eggs, turkey, and cheese are excellent protein sources. Eggs contain many important vitamins and minerals, especially in the yolk. Eggs’ reputation is tarnished with the amount of cholesterol within, but the body does not absorb most of that cholesterol, so an “egg a day” is much more beneficial than we once believed.

Black beans provide a lot of filling fiber and cancer-fighting antioxidants. Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fat that lowers bad cholesterol and raises good cholesterol, as does olive oil. Garlic fights cancer, increases cardiovascular health, and also works as an antibiotic and antiviral food.

Sriracha is made from sun-ripened chilies. It has a fresh flavor and provides the right amount of spice in small amounts, or plenty of heat in greater amounts.
