Breakfast Taco

Breakfast Tacos

Breakfast tacos are one of the fastest ways to prove a plant-based egg can hold its own next to real Tex-Mex flavor. Scrambled Peggs takes the place of scrambled egg here, sharing a skillet with chorizo or soyrizo, then getting piled onto warm tortillas with avocado, tomato, cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa. The whole thing comes together in about 15 minutes, which makes it as reasonable for a weekday breakfast as it is for a lazy weekend brunch.

Ingredients

• 2 6-inch tortillas, corn or wheat

• 1/4 cup Peggs powder + 1/4 cup water

• 1/4 cup chorizo or soyrizo

• 1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped

• 1 avocado, sliced or cubed

• 1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped

• 3/4 cup chunky salsa or pico de gallo

Made with Peggs: The scramble here is just Peggs powder and water, cooked in the same skillet right after the chorizo so the flavors mingle. The 60-pack makes breakfast tacos an easy standing weekend habit without a carton of eggs to restock every time.

1. Cook the chorizo or soyrizo as directed in a non-stick skillet, then set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate.

2. In the same skillet, whisk the Peggs powder with water and scramble over medium-low heat until just cooked through, breaking it up with a stiff spatula.

3. Warm the tortillas, then top with the scrambled Peggs, cooked chorizo, avocado, tomato, and cilantro. Finish with salsa or pico de gallo and serve immediately.

How Peggs Behaves in This Recipe

1. Scrambled in the same skillet right after the chorizo, it picks up a little of the residual fat and spice in the pan, giving the scramble more depth than cooking it in a clean pan would.

2. It breaks into soft, distinct curds under a spatula, the same texture you want piled into a taco rather than a flat sheet that tears the tortilla.

3. It stays warm and doesn't weep liquid sitting next to salsa and pico de gallo, so the taco holds together through the first few bites instead of getting soggy.
