How to Make Breakfast Tacos

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey sausage reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

salsa

🥗Healthier: fresh pico de gallo

💰Cheaper: canned salsa

Fresh pico de gallo offers a vibrant taste with fewer preservatives.

avocado

🥗Healthier: guacamole

💰Cheaper: mashed peas

Mashed peas provide creaminess at a lower cost.

Toast tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Break eggs into a bowl and add a splash of half-and-half, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper.

Whisk the eggs until well beaten and smooth.

Melt a knob of butter in the pan over medium heat.

Pour in the eggs and whisk gently as they cook, pulling them away from the sides.

When the eggs are halfway cooked, add pimento cheese to the mixture.

Finish cooking the eggs until they resemble curds.

Assemble the taco by adding eggs, pico de gallo, bacon, avocado, and cilantro on the toasted tortilla.

Add hot sauce if desired.
