Veggie Breakfast Tacos

Start your day the tasty way! These veggie-packed breakfast tacos are bursting with color, crunch, and flavor. Think scrambled eggs, sauteed peppers, spinach, and a sprinkle of cheese all wrapped up in a warm tortilla hug. Top it off with avocado slices and a dash of salsa for a fiesta in every bite.


Ingredients:

FOR THE SALSA

  • 1 large yellow tomato, diced

  • 3 tablespoons diced red onion

  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

  • 1/2 to 1 serrano pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • Juice from 1/2 lime

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

FOR THE TACOS

  • 1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced

  • 3 scallions, chopped

  • 6 large eggs, beaten

  • 2 cups arugula or spinach, chopped

  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 8 tortillas

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions:

Make the salsa: In a small bowl, combine the tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano, garlic, lime juice and salt. Chill until ready to use.

In a small nonstick skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the green pepper, scallions and a pinch of salt and pepper and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Scoop a large spoonful of the salsa into the pepper mixture and stir. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Brush a large nonstick skillet lightly with olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the eggs, let them cook for a few seconds and then stir. Add the green pepper mixture to the eggs. Continue to stir and scramble the eggs until just set. Remove from the pan from the heat while the eggs are slightly runny and stir in the arugula and half of the extra cilantro. 

Assemble the tacos with the egg mixure, a scoop of salsa, the remaining cilantro and a few slices of avocado. Finish with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
