Ever since kale and I renewed our vows, the leafy greenage has made its way back into my breakfast life. Because I love eating piles of vegetables no matter the time of day, I have no qualms about getting my rise and shine on with a steamy pile of egg-topped kale. Not only am I qualm-less, but I embrace the morning veg because a nice clean brekkie makes you feel like a million buckeroos. 
If you’re feeling like you need to add some jazz hands to this breakfast bowl, you can throw in some black beans, salsa, guacamole, and even top it off with cheese. This is how we turn the non-fajita fajita bowl into the huebos rancheros kale bowl. Are you sick of me comparing my bowl of kale to Mexican food? Are you now craving a meal that bears no resemblance to this one? Don’t do that. Come back to me.
