Description
These Easy Breakfast Tacos with scrambled eggs and avocado are a light, healthy, and satisfying way to start your day. Packed with protein and healthy fats, they’re quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
2 green onions, sliced (green and white parts separated)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 large eggs
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ avocado, small diced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
4 tortillas
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and sauté for about 1 minute.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then pour them into the pan. Stir occasionally with a spatula to cook the eggs. Flip them a few times until they’re soft, pillowy, and fully cooked.
- To assemble the tacos, add a portion of eggs to each tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of the green parts of the green onion, diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
This recipe is vegetarian-friendly, but you can add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a spicier option, add hot sauce or sliced jalapeños.
Feel free to swap the cheddar cheese for other types like pepper jack, mozzarella, or feta.
Use corn tortillas for a more authentic taste or low-carb tortillas for a healthier option.
Store leftover ingredients separately for up to 2 days. Add avocado and cilantro fresh when ready to serve.
