Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 mini soft tortillas
  • 1/2 lb ground turkey
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup mini sweet peppers chopped
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1 can black beans
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes canned
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste feta cheese
  • to taste garlic powder
  • to taste garlic salt
  • to taste cumin
  • to taste paprika
  • to taste black pepper
  • to serve sour cream
  • to serve creamy dressing optional

Instructions

Cook the Meat and Veggies

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook ground turkey with garlic powder, garlic salt, black pepper, and cumin until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, drizzle with olive oil and sauté red onion and mini sweet peppers until softened.
  • Add black beans and a pinch of garlic powder, stir to combine, then return cooked turkey to the skillet and mix with diced tomatoes. Set aside.

Prepare the Eggs

  • In a separate pan, melt butter over medium-low heat and scramble the eggs until fluffy and just set. Remove from heat.

Assemble and Crisp Tacos

  • Heat a cast iron or nonstick pan over high heat and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Crisp each tortilla for about 2 minutes per side until lightly browned but still pliable.
  • Fill tortillas with scrambled eggs, turkey-vegetable mixture, and sprinkle with feta cheese. Arrange upright in a pan or muffin tin to hold shape.
  • Sprinkle with cumin and paprika, then broil for 2-3 minutes until feta is slightly golden.

Serve

  • Drizzle with creamy dressing and serve with a spoonful of sour cream on each taco or on the side.

Notes

  • For fluffier eggs, cook over low heat and stir gently.
  • Use a muffin tin to help the tortillas hold their shape when filling.
