Preparation

Chef’s notes

Why buy organic? Bell peppers are notoriously high for pesticides and (this is news to me!) a lot of conventionally grown zucchini is genetically modified.
Make it gluten-free:
Use certified gluten-free/100% corn tortillas.
Make it tomato free:
Omit the tomatoes and add sliced avocado instead.
Storage suggestions:
Individual components (veggie mixture and scrambled eggs) keep well in the fridge for a few days. Just reheat and assemble tacos before eating.
Change it up:
Substitute seasonal veggies for those you see listed here.

You’ll also love my breakfast quesadillas, huevos rancheros with avocado salsa verde, Tex-mex omelet, breakfast enchiladas with roasted poblano sauce, scrambled huevos rancheros, and spinach frittata with sweet potato hash crust.
