# Method:

01 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
03 - Stir in cherry tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and chili powder; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently, stirring with a spatula, until eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
05 - Remove from heat. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese, cilantro, and sour cream. Add black beans or cooked bacon if using.
06 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
07 - Spoon the egg mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides over, then roll up to form a pocket.
08 - Serve immediately with extra sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce if desired.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • Everything you love about breakfast tacos but portable and actually manageable to eat on the run
  • The spice blend hits perfectly and the creamy eggs make each bite feel like a treat
02 -
  • Overcooking the eggs is the number one mistake here, pull them off the heat while they still look slightly underdone
  • Cold tortillas will crack and tear, so take the extra minute to warm them properly
03 -
  • Use a nonstick skillet and you will not need to add any extra oil when scrambling the eggs
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre shredded for the creamiest melt
