Wow folks, it’s a gorgeous one out there! Nary a cloud in the sky. Dreamy. 8)
I took the opportunity to go for a…mmm…invigorating three mile run after work today. I’ve been running regularly for over five years, and it never ceases to amaze me when a lower mileage run turns out to be as killer as today’s was. I huffed and puffed my way through it, and on my last big hill – just as I was about to give up and walk – a giant gust of wind started blowing against me, practically inviting me to walk the rest of the way home. I took it as a personal challenge from The Man Upstairs and kept going. Whoop!
In the end, I made it home in one piece. Mind over matter, people. I think that’s the #1 piece of advice I could give about running. Your body can do so much more than your mind tries to lead you to believe! 
After a quick rinse, I got started on dinner – which turned out to be one of the tastiest dinners I’ve had in weeks! Tortilla Egg Scramble!
This meal…I’m telling you…totally knocked it out of the PARK! Let’s break it down though, shall we? First thing’s first – last night I made a quick & easy homemade salsa to go on top of my scramble, using my mini food processor.
Restaurant Style Salsa
Ingredients:
1-14.5oz can petite diced tomatoes
1/4 large red onion, roughly chopped
1/2 jalapeno, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
salt
1 teaspoon dried cilantro, or a large handful of fresh cilantro
juice of half a lime
Directions:
- Place tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and garlic cloves into a food processor. Pulse until chunky. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate for at least an hour, then taste and adjust salt and lime juice levels, if necessary.
I like to make stuff like salsas, chilis, dips, etc., ahead of time because the flavor only gets better as it sits. Oh, and get some chips handy, because this makes a LOT of salsa!
This evening I combined 1 egg + 1 egg white, hot sauce, green onion and salt & pepper in a bowl, and whisked it all up.
While I quickly cooked my eggs in a skillet on the stove, I simultaneously warmed a serving of yellow corn tortilla chips in 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce in another skillet. (LOVE these chips – restaurant quality for $2!)
Pour the warmed and saucy chips in a bowl, then add your eggs. Top with cheese, green onion, avocado and salsa – and you are set, my good friend!
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! The crunchy, yellow-corn tortilla chips get soft and chewy in the savory enchilada sauce. Topped with the zippy eggs = Heaven-sent.
Adding luscious avocado, spicy green onions and refreshing homemade salsa takes it to a whole other level!
I mashed everything all together and devoured in approx 3 minutes. No self control with this dish. 
I’m begging you to try this recipe! It’s quick, inexpensive and incredibly filling. Versatile too – I would eat this for breakfast, lunch OR dinner!
Oh, I have to tell you about these cookies I’ve been snacking on! A company called Goji Gourmet sent me their cookies that contain organic goji berries. Goji berries are dried and about the size of half an almond. They provide vitamins A, C and B-complex, and are rich in iron and beta-carotene. Nice!
Plus they’re high in antioxidants and include 18 amino acids! 
The cookies happen to be all-natural with no preservatives and are also low cal, handmade and super delish. They come in 5 different flavors – I got a chance to try the ones below!
Each cookie is a perfect 3-bite size and SO flavorful!! The goji berries are nice and chewy and my fave flavor is the Goji Ginger Walnut. It’s got a nice zing from the ginger. Poppable, tasty, good-for-me dessert. Loves!
Oh you guys – Lime + Salt Popcorn – epic!!!! The first few bites tasted like a mix between Lime Tostitos and non-sweet Fruity Pebbles (weird I know) but with each kernel that I popped in my mouth, I fell more in more in love. Super buttery, hint of lime and a nice sprinkling of salt – all in a nice, portion-controlled bag. It’s love! Two thumbs up!
TGIAF!!!!

How do you like your eggs cooked?
That dinner looks great! I think I’ll try making homemade chips because I have a lot of whole-wheat pitas with no preservatives! Have a great night, girl!
I love scrambled eggs… they just don’t seem as good any other way! I do like to make them in the microwave, though!
SO true! Running is totally a mental game. I love your colorful dinner
Oh I’m so jealous of your Goji Gourmet cookies! I’ve been wanting to try them for so long!
We had bfd tonight too! I like my eggs either in an omelet or scrambled best. I like the tortilla chip idea, sounds pretty fabulous.
This looks delicious! My husband isn’t a fan of eggs for dinner, but I really think I could talk him into this dish! We also buy that brand of chips a lot…SO good!
Usually I like my eggs over easy…that way I can dip my toast into the yolk!
Love the run outlook- instead of saying well “AND wind too?! I give up” you went at it as a challenge, good for you. And dinner! That looks right up my alley of loving anything with salsa and eggs. Thanks for a great idea.
I love, love, LOVE Goji Gourmet cookies!!
That wind today was crazy up north too! My running buddy and I did 7 but there were some brutal miles against the wind. Good job pushing through. I like my eggs over-hard on whole wheat toast. Delish!
I’ve never heard of a Goji berry! But I might have to try them – I have really really low iron levels and have been looking for different things that contain it naturally =)
Yummm! I haven’t had eggs in forever. I like mine best scrambled or in an omelet. I don’t like egg yolks, so I usually just do the whites. Your dinner creation is genius and way to go on your run!
Tortilla Egg Scramble?!
YUUM!
Thanks for sharing, Kristin!
Have a wonderful Friday!
Brazilian XOXO´s,

Scrambled eggs are my fav. I did my grocery shopping today and bought the Lime & Salt popcorn. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow!!
I think running is definitely mind over matter sometimes! Great job on pushing through!! I am a scrambled egg girl, all the way! Can’t wait to try that popcorn!!
So I have recently come across your blog & LOVE it!!! We have tried a few recipes & have loved them. I’m SUPER interested in the Green Monster drinks you make, however, I’m allergic to nuts including almonds. Do you by chance have any substitutions that will make this drink as ubber delicious as you describe?
I totally agree- 90% of running success is from the head IMHO!
Love the look of that dinner, so many colours
If I have to eat eggs (they’re not my favourite….) I go scrambled. Anything but fried, I HATE fried eggs!
Hi there! Your dinner looks amazing! I’m such a huge fan of eggs for dinner and this looks so good!
Yum.
Happy Friday!
I haven’t met an egg I didn’t like. Cooked anyway, the more the better.
Did you peel and seed your tomatoes?
I like reading your stuff but it would be more helpful if you responded to questions that people sent you on your blog.
Also, again, I do truly love your blog, but has there been a product that you reviewed (that you got for free) that you DIDN’T love?
Nope! I only share with you guys products that I like!
You could not be more correct about the challenge associated with running LOW mileage. It is mind blowing!! ha. When I was training for a half marathon a 6-9 mile run could be accomplished no problem, but our legit easy runs, 3 miles…KILLER! It really really really is ALL mental. CONGRATS on finishing strong! PS your meal…mouth.watering. Avacado makes everything better
Oh wow, that dinner looks out of this world good! I would never have thought of adding the chips to the enchilada sauce, yum!
That scramble looks incredible, I will definitely be trying it soon! I’ll say though, my favorite way to eat eggs is over-easy. I love breaking the yolk and dipping some toast in it!!
