Why This Recipe Works
These tacos are a delicious way to start your day without meat. They are packed with fresh flavors and provide a good balance of protein and veggies. Plus, they come together quickly, making them perfect for busy mornings.
Directions
Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the "beef" crumbles, chopped green bell pepper, onion, and garlic, and cook everything together until the veggies are soft and the crumbles are warmed through—about 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the taco seasoning and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble everything until the eggs are just set, which should take another 3 to 4 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat, then stir in the cheese and salsa until the cheese melts and everything is well combined. Warm up some flour tortillas, and spoon the filling inside to serve. Enjoy!
