Vegetarian Breakfast Tacos
Do yourself a favor and break out the morning jams and start a dance fiesta in the kitchen with these yummy tacos. I’m gonna be real….breakfast is one of my favorite meals that I RARELY skip. Truth be told, I find that when I make an effort to cook (keyword cook) a healthy, balanced meal in the morning I snack less throughout the day and reach for healthier options when I do. Depending on what I’m in the mood for, my go to is usually scrambled or fried eggs with avocado or on a chilly day a hearty bowl of oatmeal with banana and cinnamon (recipe to come).
Today I opted for some scrambled eggs in the form of breakfast tacos, one of my all-time faves. There isn’t much prep here except for some chopping so it’s a foolproof way to get a filling meal in and fuel up before you start your day. Because today is your day to start fresh, to eat right, and to live healthy!
Ingredients:
- 3-4 eggs
- refried red kidney beans
- kumato tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
- baby bella or white button mushrooms
- 1 shallot
- 1 jalapeño
- corn and wheat tortilla
- feta cheese
- avocado
- green onion
- cilantro
- salt and pepper
Instructions:
1. Start by chopping your vegetables: tomatoes, mushrooms, shallots and jalapeño.
2. Heat the ghee in a medium-sized skillet and add the shallots, sautéing until translucent. Then add the rest of the vegetables and continue to sauté, mixing often to cook evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a small saucepan, head up your refried beans. You can use canned refried beans or make your own. I made mine mixing a can of whole kidney beans with chopped onions and jalapenos and Cholula and cooked down until soft enough to mash.
4. In a separate pan over medium-low heat, warm up your tortillas.
5. Once the vegetables have softened and cooked down a bit, lower the heat and pour in the whisked eggs. Mix gently with a spatula until just cooked then turn off the heat.
6. To plate, start with your warm tortilla and layer with the beans, the scrambled eggs and veggies and top off with feta cheese, avocado, green onions and cilantro. For some added creaminess, add a dollop of Greek yogurt and enjoy.
