Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 200 g turkey sausage
- 240 g black beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 100 g cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 ml salsa
Instructions
Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and turkey sausage; cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sausage is browned and fully cooked.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg whites together with salt and pepper until well combined.
Add the cooked sausage and peppers into the egg mixture, along with the black beans. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and pour in the egg mixture. Stir regularly to scramble the eggs, cooking for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are fully set.
While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate small skillet until they are pliable, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the egg and sausage mixture onto each tortilla. Top with chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high protein breakfast tacos while they're warm!
