What You’ll Need To Do
Time required: 25 mins
1| In a big bowl, toss together the diced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and green onions. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over it all and drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then give it a tasteadd more seasoning or lime juice if you feel like it. Set that salsa mix aside for now.
2| In a small pot, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over low-medium heat. Add the black beans, season with a pinch of salt, and let them warm up, stirring every so often.
3| Now, grab a dry skillet and heat it up over medium. Toast each tortilla for a minute or so on both sides until it’s nice and warm with a bit of char. Once done, cover the tortillas with a clean tea towel or wrap them in foil to keep them cozy.
4| In another frying pan, heat 4 teaspoons of olive oil and butter over medium heat. Crack in your eggs and fry them up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or cook them longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
5| Time to assemble! Place two tortillas on each plate. Spoon some warm black beans on top, pile on that salsa, and then crown it with your fried eggs. Finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh coriander if you’re feeling fancy.

4| Cheese: Add some shredded cheese (like cheddar, pepper jack, or cotija) to the tacos for a creamy, melty goodness. You could even swap for dairy-free cheese if you prefer!

4| Lime Crema: Make a quick lime crema by mixing sour cream (or a dairy-free version) with lime juice, salt, and a little cilantro. Drizzle it over the tacos for an extra zing!

Useful Tips for Success
Here are some handy tips to make your Hearty Mexican Breakfast Tacos even better:
1| Warm Your Tortillas Properly: When toasting your tortillas, don’t rush it! Give each tortilla a little extra time in the pan until it’s lightly charred on both sides. This adds a nice smokiness and makes them more pliable, so they won’t tear when you fill them up.
2| Perfect Eggs: For that ideal runny yolk, cook the eggs on medium heat and keep an eye on them. Don’t rush the processlet the whites set while keeping the yolk soft. If you prefer firm yolks, just cook them a bit longer.
3| Customizing the Salsa: If you like a smoother salsa, toss the tomato, red pepper, and green onion into a food processor instead of chopping by hand. It gives your salsa a fun, dip-like texture that’s perfect for scooping up with your tacos!
4| Keep Your Beans Warm: To avoid cold black beans on your hot tacos, warm them gently on the stove over low heat. Stir occasionally so they stay nice and cozy for when you’re ready to assemble.
5| Chop Coriander Fresh: Always chop fresh cilantro just before serving. This keeps it bright and flavorful, instead of wilting or losing its zing if it’s pre-chopped.
6| Make it Ahead: Want to save time? You can prep the salsa and beans ahead of time. Store them in the fridge for up to a couple of days, and you’ll just need to heat them up when you’re ready to assemble your tacos!
7| Add a Side: Serve with a side of sliced fruit like juicy oranges or fresh melon to balance out the richness of the eggs and beans. It makes for a refreshing contrast!
These tips will help you make your breakfast tacos even more flavorful and fuss-free! Enjoy making them your own!

Storage Suggestions
Here are some easy storage options to keep your Hearty Mexican Breakfast Tacos fresh and delicious:
Taco Components (Separate Storage):
- Tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in foil or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. If you’re planning to store them longer, freeze them in a plastic bag, and heat them up on a skillet when you’re ready to eat.
- Black Beans: Store leftover black beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can easily reheat them on the stove or in the microwave.
- Salsa: Keep your salsa in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It actually gets even more flavorful as it sits!
- Eggs: If you have leftover cooked eggs, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. They’re best eaten fresh but will still taste good when reheated.
Fully Assembled Tacos: If you’ve made extra tacos and want to store them as a complete meal, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Be aware that the tortillas might get a little soft after being refrigerated, but the flavors will still be great.

Freezing:
- Tortillas: Freeze tortillas in a stack with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking. Just pop them in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 2-3 months. When you’re ready to use them, heat them up directly from the freezer.
- Beans: You can freeze the black beans in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Let them cool before storing, and then defrost in the fridge or microwave when you’re ready to use them.
- Eggs: While it’s best to cook eggs fresh, you can freeze scrambled eggs for up to 1 month. Just let them cool, place them in a freezer-safe container, and reheat on the stove or microwave.

- To reheat the tortillas, warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- For the black beans and eggs, reheat them gently on the stove or in the microwave. If the beans seem dry, add a splash of water or broth to bring back their moisture.
