Organic Breakfast Tacos

So you have begun to eat healthy and organically at lunch and dinner, but you are still struggling with what to have for breakfast besides fruit smoothies and oatmeal. Everyone loves a breakfast taco, but the first thing that comes to mind is the fat and cholesterol from all the meats like bacon, sausage and ham. Of course, you never know how those animals were treated, and how much antibiotics might be pumped into them. When you eat organic, you can take a lot of those questions out of the equation. Here is a recipe for breakfast tacos that won't make you want to go back for a nap afterwards. Eat organic, feel better, be healthy.

Organic Breakfast Tacos
Serves 4

Ingredients
8 eggs
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 scallion, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)

Quick Pickled Onions

1 small red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup slices)
¼ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cilantro

To serve
8 small flour tortillas
1 tomato, sliced
1 avocado, sliced
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
4-6 teaspoons hot sauce (Tabasco or other)

Directions

First make the quick-pickled onions by combining the sliced onions, vinegar, water, salt and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, then turn down to a simmer and cook for another 3 minutes until onions are soft and light pink. Remove from flame, roughly chop and combine with cilantro.

Heat the tortillas in a skillet or a griddle with a splash of olive oil for 1 minute on each side so they brown slightly, set aside or keep warm in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, paprika, ½ cup cheddar cheese, scallions and salt. In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for two minutes until eggs are just cooked. Divide eggs among the tortillas and top with the pickled onion mixture. Add a few slices of tomato and avocado to each taco and serve with hot sauce.
