Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 small lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the salt and black pepper, and beat until well mixed.
Chop the red bell pepper into small cubes and thinly slice the green onions.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped red bell pepper and cook for about 3 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the bell peppers.
Gently scramble the eggs with the peppers using a spatula, stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully cooked and set, about 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy.
Chop the cilantro and add it to the mashed avocado. Squeeze half of the lime over the mix and stir well.
Arrange the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates to create the base of your taco shells.
Spoon the scrambled egg and pepper mixture onto each lettuce leaf.
Top each with a generous dollop of the avocado and cilantro mix.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions on top of each taco for additional flavor and crunch.
Cut the remaining half of the lime into wedges and serve alongside the egg tacos for an extra burst of fresh lime juice, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious Whole30 Egg Tacos!
