Instructions
To Make The Black Bean Breakfast Tacos:
- Prepare the zesty black beans and scrambled eggs. (And I recommend prepping your toppings while those cook, to save time.)
- Once all of your fillings and toppings are ready to go, fill your tortillas with a large spoonful (each) of the black bean mixture and scrambled eggs. Then sprinkle on your desired toppings. Serve immediately.
To Make The Zesty Black Beans:
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and jalapeno, and saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is cooked and soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Stir in the black beans, cumin and lime until completely combined. Saute for 1-2 minutes, or until the black beans are warmed through.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat and serve.
To Make The Scrambled Eggs:
- Whisk together eggs and milk and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-heat, and spray with cooking spray (or melt a tablespoon of butter in the bottom of the pan). Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through. Remove from heat and serve.
