Arepa Crisps with Soy Chorizo, Egg, Cactus and Requeson: A tasty breakfast appetizer to start off your day

Spring is here and that means that from now on there are many outdoor meals ahead. I love an early morning breakfast or a brunch outside in my patio. The serene surrounding makes it so much easier to start off a hectic day or a weekend doing errands around town. It’s a time for a chat with family without any distractions.

Appetizers are always fun. They are considered party food but don’t have to be. Why not have appetizers for breakfast?

I visited ViveMejor.com and found an entire section of recipe inspiration. Their arepas with chorizo, egg and avocado caught my eye and I just had to prepare them with my own twist.

Arepas can be topped with just about anything. I still wanted to keep the Latin flavors in this dish so I prepared the tomato mixture with soy chorizo instead of regular chorizo.

I love nopales (cactus) and I added them to scrambled eggs to give them some tanginess and a little fiber. A little fiber never hurts. If you can find requeson at your local Latin market, it makes a great topping. If requeson is not available, queso fresco or cotija cheese make great substitutions.
