Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 slices low sodium bacon
- 4 pieces corn tortillas
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup low sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup fresh baby spinach
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the low sodium bacon slices until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper and cook for about 2 minutes or until slightly softened.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with black pepper. Add unsalted butter to the skillet, then pour in the beaten eggs. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set.
Stir in the fresh baby spinach and continue to cook for another minute until the spinach wilts.
While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the tacos, divide the scrambled egg mixture evenly among the warm tortillas. Crumble the cooked bacon over the top, and sprinkle with low sodium cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium breakfast tacos!
