Upgrade your morning routine with these creamy, protein-packed breakfast tacos. They are quick, easy, and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/3 cup diced bell pepper
- 2/3 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 4 large eggs
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 4 small corn or flour tortillas
- sliced avocado, salsa, or hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour them into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir gently until the eggs are just set.
- Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Gently fold in the cottage cheese. Stir until warmed through, then remove from heat immediately.
- Warm your tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Fill with the egg mixture and top with avocado, salsa, or hot sauce as desired.
Notes
Keep heat low when folding in the cottage cheese to maintain a creamy texture. Assemble tacos right before serving to keep the shells crisp.
