Ingredients (Makes 4 tacos)
For the Tacos:
4 small tortillas or low-carb wraps
4 eggs
1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons sliced Kalamata olives
1/4 cup baby spinach or arugula (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or mint
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:
Greek yogurt or tzatziki
Hot sauce or chili flakes
Avocado slices
Hummus
Instructions
Prepare ingredients: Wash and chop your veggies and toppings so everything is ready to go.
Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and a splash of milk or cream if using. Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and gently scramble until soft and just cooked. Set aside.
Warm the tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds until soft and pliable.
Assemble tacos: Divide scrambled eggs evenly among the tortillas. Top each with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta, olives, spinach, and herbs.
Add toppings: Finish with optional additions like tzatziki, avocado, or chili flakes if desired.
Serve: Enjoy immediately while warm!
Tips
Use fresh herbs like parsley or mint to brighten the flavors.
Don’t overcook the eggs — soft-scrambled is best for taco texture.
Toast tortillas lightly for added flavor and durability.
Drain juicy toppings like tomatoes or cucumbers to avoid soggy tacos.
Customize for your diet — use egg whites, dairy-free cheese, or gluten-free wraps as needed.
Variations
Low-carb/keto: Use almond flour or cheese-based wraps and skip cucumber for lower carbs.
Vegan: Use tofu scramble instead of eggs and dairy-free feta or hummus.
Spicy: Add harissa, jalapeños, or red chili flakes.
Meaty: Add crumbled chicken sausage, turkey beef, or grilled halloumi.
Hearty: Include roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for extra depth.
Q&A
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prep the fillings in advance, but assemble the tacos just before eating to keep them fresh.
2. What kind of tortilla is best?
Any small tortilla works — try flour, whole wheat, low-carb, or gluten-free depending on your preference.
3. Can I meal prep these?
Yes! Store scrambled eggs and chopped toppings separately and reheat/assemble when ready to eat.
4. What can I substitute for feta?
Goat cheese, shredded mozzarella, or dairy-free cheese all work well.
5. Are these good cold?
They’re best warm, but they can also be eaten cold as a wrap or taco roll-up.
