    5 Minute Pepperjack Breakfast Tacos

    Breakfast, Main Courses

    You’re going to love our 5 minute Pepperjack Tacos! As a vegetarian, I’m constantly looking for ways to boost my protein intake after an intense weight training workout. These egg tacos were oh-so-tasty and only took 5 minutes in total to make. 

    As I said before, the beans and eggs are add a phenomenal amount of protein.  The eggs in this not only provide plenty of protein, but they also provide healthy fats, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, zinc, iron, and copper.  You can see why we love eggs so much!

    fat free pepper jack cheese

    Mix spinach, eggs, and onion in a bowl.  Now you have two options: you can cook the egg mixture on the stovetop or in the microwave.  Take your pick.  If you choose to use the stovetop, start by adding a teaspoon of oil and scramble at low heat.  Then melt the pepper jack on top of the mixture.  If you choose to use the microwave, cook on high for one minute and then stir and add a slice of pepper jack. 

    Continue cooking for another minute until the eggs are done and the cheese is melted.  Heat up the corn tortillas for about 3 minutes on a stovetop, steamer, or microwave. Spread the beans onto the tortillas, and then add the eggs.  Top with a few chunks of avocado and olives, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!

      Oh my goodness. I thought these looked tasty and easy to make, but I was sure I’d still be starving after I ate them. Not so. I could almost have gotten away with only eating one! These will definitely become a go-to meal on days I’m extra hungry 🙂

        Hi, how can we figure out the calories in these recipes? I made the fluffy breakfast quinoa, and I wanted to know how much to have per serving, and how much calories each serving would be.

          Hey! We don’t calculate calories because a lot of the systems we’ve used yield inaccurate values. The quinoa serving size is 1 cup. So sorry we can’t give you more info!

      Just made these, and wow! They were tasty! I topped mine with some cilantro as well. It ain’t tacos if there’s no cilantro 😀

      Thank you for the recipe
