Description

Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, these scrambled egg tacos are full of flavor and gluten-free!

Ingredients

  • 6  Large Eggs
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • Salt And Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1  Shallot, Finely Chopped
  • 1  Jalapeno Pepper, Seeds And Stem Removed, Finely Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Oregano, Chopped
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Turmeric
  • 1 cup Canned Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
  • 8  Corn Tortillas, Warmed Through
  • 1  Avocado, Peeled, Pitted, And Diced
  • ¾ cups Cotija Cheese
  • Green Onions, Green Part Only, Sliced (garnish)

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and jalapeno and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Season with salt and black pepper and then add the garlic, oregano, cumin and turmeric. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes or until fragrant. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl so that the veggies are evenly distributed. Sprinkle the black beans on top. Cook the eggs by letting them sit until bubbly and set around the edges, then scramble with a wooden spoon or spatula until cooked through.

Place a small amount of eggs into each warm corn tortilla. Top with diced avocado, cotija cheese and green onions. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Note: Milk can be substituted for another low-fat or dairy-free alternative.

I made this recipe last night for dinner and it was delicious. For the record, I live in the Northeast and have never been to the Southwest so I can’t judge how authentic the recipe is. I can tell you that it was very tasty and my family loved it. I did make a few small changes. I didn’t use turmeric because of an allergy, and I used a whole can of black beans because I didn’t want to waste the rest of the can. I also didn’t have fresh oregano so I substituted dried Mexican Oregano. I also made Ree’s Pico de Gallo to go with it because it just seemed the right thing to do, and it was. The Pico really complemented the eggs. This recipe was a great hit and my family has already asked me to make it again. Thanks for a really delicious recipe!
