    How to Make Breakfast Tacos

    1. Cook the Eggs

    Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray or a bit of oil to prevent the eggs from sticking. Pour in the beaten eggs, season them with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring gently until the eggs are just set. The key is to cook the eggs lightly to ensure they remain fluffy and tender.

    2. Warm the Tortillas

    While the eggs are cooking, warm the flour tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a pan for about 10-15 seconds each or by microwaving them briefly.

    3. Assemble the Tacos

    Once warmed, lay the tortillas flat and divide the scrambled eggs evenly among them, placing the eggs in the center of each tortilla. Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the warm eggs. The warmth from the eggs will slightly melt the cheese, enhancing its flavor and texture.

    4. Add Beans and Salsa

    Scatter the cooked black beans and spoon some salsa over the eggs and cheese.

    5. Top with Avocado and Cilantro

    Finally, top each taco with a few slices of avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

    6. Serve

    Fold each tortilla into a taco shape, making sure all the delicious fillings are snugly inside. Serve the Sunrise Scramble Tacos immediately, with extra salsa on the side if desired. Enjoy your hearty and delicious breakfast!

    Variations

    Southwestern Scramble Tacos

    Add black beans, corn, and a pinch of chipotle powder to your scrambled eggs. Top with salsa and a dollop of sour cream or a vegan alternative.

    All-American Scramble Tacos

    Include crispy bacon or sausage crumbles in your scramble. Top with hash browns or diced potatoes and a squirt of ketchup or hot sauce.

    Italian Scramble Tacos

    Mix in diced tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella into your scrambled eggs. Add a spread of pesto on the tortilla before adding the egg mixture.

    Meaty Addition

    For non-vegetarian variations, add chorizo, bacon bits, or diced ham to the scramble for a smoky, meaty flavor.

    Mediterranean Scramble Tacos

    Swap out the bell peppers for spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Use feta cheese and top with olives and a drizzle of tzatziki sauce.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Quality of Ingredients

    Always start with the freshest and highest quality ingredients you can find. Fresh, locally-sourced eggs, ripe avocados, organic bell peppers, and artisanal tortillas are crucial for the best tacos.

    Egg Mastery

    For perfect scrambled eggs, cook them low and slow, whisking thoroughly before cooking to incorporate air, and removing them from heat just before fully set for fluffiness.

    Serving

    Serve the tacos immediately after cooking to prevent eggs from turning rubbery.

    Seasoning

    Properly season your eggs with salt before cooking and finish with fresh herbs like cilantro or chives for enhanced flavor.

    Texture Contrast

    Include elements like quick-pickled onions or radishes, crispy fried potatoes, or chorizo to add crunch and contrast to your tacos.
