Breakfast Tacos
Servings
4Serving size
2 tacosThis recipe can easily be multiplied or halved. Leftover eggs make great sandwiches (or cold tacos).
Ingredients
8 large Egg(s) |
1/4 cup Bottled salsa |
1 ounce Reduced fat cheddar cheese (shredded) |
8 tortilla, medium (approx 6 inch dia) Corn tortillas |
1 spray Spray olive oil |
Instructions
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
When the pan is hot, add the eggs.
Stir occasionally.
If the egg is turning brown, turn down heat.
Once egg is cooked through (not runny), turn off the heat.
Sprinkle cheese on top of the egg and fold together to combine and allow the cheese to melt.
Remove from the heat and cover the skillet.
Toast tortillas by using tongs to hold a tortilla over a low flame until the tortilla is lightly toasted. You may also heat a pan over medium- high heat and add the tortillas to the pan to warm them.
Divide the filling and toppings of choice (see topping ideas below) evenly between the tortillas.
Fold in half and serve immediately.
There are a lot of options for toppings (these are not included in the Nutrition Facts). For example:
1 avocado, mashed or diced small
1 tomato (diced small)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1/2 cup canned black or pinto beans (drained & rinsed)
1 lime (cut into 8 wedges)
If using beans as a topping, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the beans with 2 tablespoons of water and bring to a simmer to heat up the beans - it is ok if the water eventually evaporates off. You may also lightly mash the beans.

This is a great basic taco recipe and perfect for breakfast. Testing the recipe shows that it takes all of about 10 minutes to make and that is less time than it takes to drive to a fast food restaurant, stand in line, purchase breakfast, and eat it. Not only is this healthier, but it is far less expensive and a lot tastier.
Choose the salsa for this recipe carefully. Often smaller companies will have fewer stabilizers and artificial ingredients as well as a lot less sodium. Look for a salsa with less than 200 milligrams of sodium per two tablespoon serving.
