The Breakfast Taco Recipe

1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by prepping all your ingredients. Dice the avocado, quarter the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the baby spinach. If you’re using canned black beans, make sure to drain and rinse them.
2. Scramble the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and slightly fluffy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Warm the Tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or by microwaving them for 20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
4. Assemble the Tacos: Once the eggs are ready, it’s time to assemble the tacos. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the four tortillas. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, black beans, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and chopped spinach.
5. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a dash of hot sauce to each taco. These toppings add extra flavor and nutrients to your breakfast tacos.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the breakfast tacos immediately while they’re warm. Enjoy a nutritious and delicious breakfast that will keep your kids satisfied and energized for the day ahead!

Tips for a Healthier Breakfast Taco

• Use Whole Wheat or Corn Tortillas: Opt for whole wheat or corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas to increase the fiber content of your tacos.
• Add More Veggies: Feel free to add any other vegetables your kids like. Bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms all work well in these breakfast tacos.
• Go Dairy-Free: If you or your kids are dairy-free, you can easily substitute the cheddar cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use almond milk or another non-dairy milk for the scrambled eggs.
• Include Lean Protein: For an extra boost of protein, add a bit of lean turkey sausage or tofu crumbles to the scrambled eggs.
• Healthy Fats: Avocado provides healthy fats, but you can also sprinkle some chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra nutrient boost.

These breakfast tacos are a versatile and healthy option for busy mornings. They’re quick to prepare, kid-approved, and perfect for working moms who need to get out the door in a hurry. Plus, the kids can even help with the assembly, making breakfast a fun family activity.

I hope this recipe becomes a staple in your morning routine. It’s a great way to ensure your kids start their day with a balanced meal that’s both delicious and nutritious.
