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.

Heat a little olive oil in a saucepan.

Add chopped onions, jalapenos, and garlic to the saucepan and sauté for a few minutes until soft and translucent.

Add black beans (cooked from dry or canned) to the saucepan.

Stir in tomato sauce and a little water.

Add dried chili powder, cumin, chicken bouillon powder (optional), salt, and pepper to the mixture.

Cook the bean mixture for about 10 minutes until it becomes thick and delicious.

Toast tortillas over a gas burner or in a dry skillet until charred and pliable.

Wipe the skillet clean and add a little olive oil.

Crack a couple of eggs into a bowl, add salt and cilantro, and whisk together.

Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble over low heat for about 30 seconds until fully cooked but not hard.

Serve the eggs and beans in the toasted tortillas, adding avocado, lime, and optional toppings like cheese or sour cream.
