Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 medium-sized sweet potato chopped into ½-inch pieces
- 2.5 oz baby spinach or greens of choice
- 6 to 8 large eggs well beaten
- 1 tsp chili powder optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 (14-oz) can Black Beans
- 1 to 2 ripe avocados peeled and sliced
- 6-8 corn tortillas
- 1 to 2 cups grated cheese * optional
For Serving:
- salsa or hot sauce
- sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Heat the oil over medium heat and add the chopped sweet potato. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato is crispy on the outside and cooked through, about 15-18 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the black beans in a small pot until hot. Keep the beans warm until you're ready to assemble the tacos
- Add the greens and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add chili powder, salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cook the eggs using your preferred method (scrambled, over easy, sunny side up, poached, etc.).
- Heat the tortillas using your preferred method. I wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and put them in the oven at 350° F until they’re hot, about 7 minutes. You can also toast them in the oven under the broil setting for 1-2 minutes for crispier tortillas or microwave them.
- Time to prepare your tacos! Sprinkle the warm tortillas with grated cheese of choice. Add black beans, the sweet potato and spinach mixture, sliced avocado, and fried egg (or scrambled eggs) on top. Serve with your favorite salsa or hot sauce and/or sour cream if desired. Enjoy your filling, nutritious breakfast!

Notes
*I like using colby jack cheese, but cheddar cheese, pepperjack cheese, and mozzarella cheese all work.
