Ingredients

Spinach & Avocado Breakfast Tacos

  • 2 small corn tortillas (6-inch)

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¼ cup egg whites

  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cup packed fresh spinach

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • ½ avocado, sliced or mashed

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

  • Dried oregano, garlic salt, and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Arugula & Parmesan Breakfast Tacos

  • 2 small corn tortillas (6-inch)

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¼ cup egg whites

  • 1 cup fresh arugula

  • 1 oz parmesan cheese, shaved or grated

  • 5 kalamata olives, halved

  • 1 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained)

  • Dried parsley, dried oregano, garlic salt, and fresh cracked pepper to taste


Instructions:

  1. Warm Tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm corn tortillas 30–60 seconds per side until soft and lightly toasted. Wrap in foil or a towel to keep warm.

  2. Scramble Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk eggs + egg whites with a pinch of garlic salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a light spray of oil if needed. Add minced garlic; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Cook Veggies & Eggs:

    • Type 1: Add spinach and cherry tomatoes; cook 1–2 minutes until spinach wilts. Pour in egg mixture; scramble gently until set (2–3 minutes).

    • Type 2: Add arugula, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes; cook 1 minute until arugula wilts slightly. Pour in egg mixture; scramble gently until set (2–3 minutes).

  4. Assemble Tacos: Divide egg mixture between the 2 warm tortillas.

    • Type 1: Top with sliced/mashed avocado and chopped cilantro; sprinkle oregano and more pepper.

    • Type 2: Top with parmesan cheese (it melts slightly from heat); sprinkle parsley, oregano, and pepper.

  5. Serve: Enjoy immediately—fold or eat open-face. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
