Why You’ll Love This Breakfast Taco

This Breakfast Taco 🌮 recipe comes together so fast , even quicker if you have all your veggies already sliced and ready to go. It’s great for meal prep, it if you have to make a bunch at a time to feed the fam before heading out the door. Each recipe makes two tacos so you can make a big platter for all. I love these because the veggies are sautéed just until crisp, but with a little bite on them. The 🥚 eggs are nice and soft, and perfectly salty and the feta cheese adds a nice little tang!

How to Prepare This Breakfast Taco

🔪 First, using a sharp knife , slice the onion and bell pepper.

🫒 Now, add a tablespoon of olive oil to a pan on medium heat.

🫑 Sauté the onions and pepper for a few minutes. They should have some colour, but also still have a bit of a bite to them.

🧅 Add a small pinch of salt and then place the sautéed veggies in a dish and set aside.

🫒 In the same pan, add another teaspoon of olive oil (if the pan is dry).

🥚 Whisk two eggs and add them in.

🧂 Scramble the eggs, add a pinch of salt and remove onto a plate.

🔥 In that same pan again, warm up the tortillas one at a time for 15 seconds on each side.

🌮 Remove from the heat and assemble: Add a sprinkle of feta to the bottom of one tortilla, then 1/2 of the scrambled egg, and then some of the veggies on top.

😋 Repeat the assembly for the second tortilla, and enjoy.

Nonna’s Tip 🥬

Use whatever veggies you love or have kicking around in the fridge: mushrooms, spinach or onion would all be delicious. You can also experiment by adding a spread , such as hummus or pesto to the base of the tortilla.
