Veggie Lovers & Egg Taco Recipe

Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbs olive oil and swirl to coat.

Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes more, until beginning to soften.

Stir in the diced zucchini and sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and any released liquid has mostly evaporated, 4–6 minutes.

Add corn kernels and minced garlic; cook 1–2 minutes until corn is warmed and garlic is fragrant.

Sprinkle in ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the vegetables and cook 30–60 seconds to bloom the spices.

Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1 tbs chopped cilantro and 1 tbs lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Keep warm while you cook the eggs (transfer to a bowl if necessary).

Crack the 6 large eggs into a medium bowl. Add 2 tbs milk or water, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Whisk until combined and slightly frothy.

Wipe out (or use a separate) nonstick skillet and place over medium-low heat. Add 1 tbs unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the pan.

Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds, then gently pull the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Continue folding slowly and gently until eggs are softly set but still slightly moist, about 2–3 minutes total for soft-scrambled texture. Remove from heat (eggs will finish cooking from residual heat).

Warm the tortillas: stack tortillas and wrap in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Microwave for 20–30 seconds, or warm individually in a dry skillet over medium heat 20–30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted.

Assemble each taco: place a warm tortilla on a plate. Spoon a generous 2–3 tbs (about 1/4 cup) of the vegetable mixture into the center of the tortilla.

Top the vegetables with an equal portion of the soft-scrambled eggs (about 3 eggs per two tacos). Sprinkle with shredded cheese while eggs are still warm so it melts slightly.

Add sliced or mashed avocado, 1–2 tbs salsa, and pickled jalapeños or hot sauce if using. Garnish with extra cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime wedge.

Serve immediately while warm.
