Method
Taco Filling
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tbs olive oil.
When oil shimmers, add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent and beginning to soften.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini; cook 4–5 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to brown at the edges.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.
Fold in the chopped spinach and cook 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove skillet from heat and stir in fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Keep warm while you prepare the eggs.
Eggs & Add-ins
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom and folding eggs over. Cook slowly, removing pan from heat periodically to avoid overcooking, until eggs are soft, slightly runny, and creamy — about 3–4 minutes total. They will continue to set off the heat.
Tortillas & Assembly
Assemble tacos: place a warmed tortilla on a plate. Spoon about 2–3 tbs of the veggie filling down the center, then top with a generous portion of scrambled eggs (about 1/2 cup).
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Repeat to make remaining tacos.
