Eggs are a great source of protein and perfect for anytime of the day.
This quick cooking protein is nutrient dense and has a good combination of fats and protein to keep you full well after your meal.
This week we spiced up our eggs for the makings of a breakfast taco that looks as good as it tastes. Packed with flavor, this recipe provides a morning kick, lunch time fiesta, or fresh dinner in under 15 minutes.
Ingredients:
4 Small Corn Tortillas
4 Eggs
1 Can Black Beans, drained
1 Cup of your favorite Salsa
1 Clove garlic, crushed/minced
¼ Cup Red Onion, diced
2 Limes (1 for garnish)
2 Tbsp oil
¼ Cup Crumbled Feta
Salt & Pepper to taste
Optional: 1 Avocado
Materials:
Strainer
Small Saucepan
Skillet
Wooden Spoon
Spatula
1 Paper Towel
Knife
Directions:
- Rinse Black beans and place in a small sauce pan over medium heat, stirring often. After 1 minute, add garlic, salsa, juice of one lime, half of the onion, and a splash of water before letting simmer on low heat. Continue to stir periodically
- Coat surface of skillet with oil. Fry each egg to your liking (about 1-2 minutes per side, depending on how you like your eggs. Scrambled is definitely an option as well).
- Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat for 15 seconds in microwave.
- On each tortilla, spoon some of the bean-salsa mixture, add the egg on top, sprinkle with Feta and garnish with red onion and cilantro.
Serve with sliced avocados if you would like, and enjoy!
