On weekends I love to make brunch recipes, so I made this kickin’ Tex-Mex breakfast bake recipe for the family the other day. The kick comes from some chiles and a little cayenne pepper, and you can turn that up a notch or down a notch according to taste.
The reduced acid gives it such a smooth, mild, delicious taste, and just like the other Simply Orange varieties, it’s never sweetened, never concentrated and never frozen. It goes great with this Tex-Mex breakfast bake recipe, but it’s also perfect in a glass on its own.
