Breakfast Tacos...for Dinner

I LOVE this meal!!  I love it because it's simple, easy, the possibilities are endless, it's super yummy, and...I didn't cook it!  Haha!  The hubby did the cooking!  Score!  (I did notice that he didn't do the clean up, as well, but Rome wasn't built in a day :)

We were in need of dinner on Saturday night and had all these ingredients so it came together nicely!  The pic shows flour tortillas, but we also had corn tortillas (leftover from the King Ranch Chicken) and I loved it with the corn tortillas!  Such a yummy change!  I plan to have these on the menu more often now that I realize how simple & easy they are.  (And bc Hubby will cook the eggs :)
For this you'll need:
  • eggs
  • milk
  • shredded cheese (we used mexican blend and cheddar)
  • green pepper, diced
  • butter
  • pepper (to taste)
  • tortillas (corn or flour)
  • your favorite salsa
  • sour cream, optional
  • guacamole, tomatoes, pico de gallo, really the possibilities are endless!!


Saute green pepper until crisp/tender in about 1 tbsp butter

Now this is the even sweeter part - the Mister took some pictures!  LOVE it!  He wanted to show the ridiculous amount of eggs I got on sale at Albertson's last week :)

And the pyrex cup that he mixed the eggs (he used NINE, no you don't have to use that many, NO we did not eat that many, it was TOO much), about 1/3 cup milk, pepper to taste and whisked it in the pyrex cup.  He then poured it in a nonstick pan that he had already coated with melted butter (1-2 tbsp).    When eggs are beginning to set, scramble them, and continue to scramble them until desired doneness.  

Add choice of cheese and stir in until melted.  Add green peppers and any other additions at this point.

Yum, yum, yummy!!

We all loaded up ours differently - I did sour cream, eggs, salsa - it was fabulous!!  We will be having these again!  Thank you, Hubby!
