These Easy Breakfast Tacos are a great way to star These Easy Breakfast Tacos are a great way to start the weekend & a perfect way to use a variety of vegetables in the fridge!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I love this recipe because it really is a ‘choose your own adventure.’ Use whichever ingredients are your favourite!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here's how I made mine (don't forget to save this post for brunch later):⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INGREDIENTS⁠⠀
4 corn or flour tortillas⁠⠀
4 large eggs, scrambled⁠⠀
1 cup shredded sweet potato or regular potato⁠⠀
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion⁠⠀
1/2 cup thinly sliced red pepper⁠⠀
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)⁠⠀
1/4 cup shredded cheese⁠⠀
salt & pepper⁠⠀
suggested garnishes: sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, hot sauce, salsa, avocado, guacamole, diced tomato or cherry tomatoes, sour cream, sliced cabbage, kale or other greens for garnish⁠⠀
hot sauce⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INSTRUCTIONS⁠⠀
In a frying pan on medium heat, warm the tortillas, flipping to warm each side 2-3 minutes. Then wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To the same frying pan add 1 tbsp olive oil and spread out shredded sweet potato. Let cook until it starts to brown around the edges, add a pinch of salt and pepper, stir and then cook a bit more until your desired doneness. Remove from pan and set aside.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To the same pan, add another 1 tbsp olive oil and pepper and onions. Sauté for about 5-8 minutes until softened. Remove from pan and set aside.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Lastly, whisk eggs in a bowl and then add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan along with eggs. Cook, stirring until eggs are scrambled to your desired consistency.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Assemble your tacos by spooning sweet potatoes onto each tortilla. Then layer cooked pepper and onions, scrambled eggs and top with your garnishes of choice. ⁠⠀
Enjoy warm!⁠⠀
