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 topping with your garnishes of choice. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Make this recipe for more people: This recipe is easily doubled! Double the recipe so that everyone can have two tacos or to serve more people.
  • Need substitutions?
    • Need crunch? Use cabbage or other greens instead of radishes
    • Add more potato if you don't have peppers and/or onions
  • Leftover tacos will keep fairly well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days without garnishes; gently reheat before serving.
