Originating from Mexican cuisine, breakfast tacos are a globally-popular morning meal that combines the savory and satisfying elements of traditional breakfast foods with the convenience and versatility of tacos.
Ingredients
- 4 small whole-wheat tortillas
- 8 oz of turkey sausage, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of low-fat milk
- 1/4 cup of bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup of red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup of shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup of Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt (as a healthier substitute for sour cream)
- Salsa for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Turkey Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, add the turkey sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add olive oil. Sauté the diced bell pepper and red onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave. Divide the scrambled eggs and vegetables evenly among the tortillas. Top each with cooked turkey sausage, diced cucumber, tomatoes, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with a dallop of Greek yogurt and a side of salsa.
