Ingredients

  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas

  • 1/2 pound ground turkey or chicken sausage
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bell pepper diced

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: avocado slices salsa, cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add ground turkey or chicken sausage to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Stir in black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to warm through.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until well combined. In another skillet, scramble the eggs until just set but still slightly moist.

  • Assemble tacos by dividing the meat mixture, scrambled eggs, and cheese among the tortillas.
  • Top with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
