·         2 tbs. olive oil

·         1 onion, sliced in rings

·         ½ red bell pepper, sliced

·         8 eggs

·         ½ c milk

Breakfast Taco - Mexico

Hmmm, Mexican food in the morning, that is a very good beginning of the day! This dish is perfect for a late breakfast or brunch, and can be very easily prepared ahead. Just follow all the steps (without the eggs), keep everything warm and scramble the eggs right before you want to serve!

Ingredients:

• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 spicy sausages
• 6 tortillas
• 12 eggs
• 1 ¼ c cream
• 3 tbsp. butter
• salt
• 2 limes (preferably organic), washed

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Cut the bell pepper in strips and the onion in little cubes. Peel the garlic and mince it.

Heat the oil in a skillet at medium heat and fry the vegetables until they are soft and slightly brown. That should take about 10 minutes.

Cut up the sausages and add to the vegetables. Fry everything for 5 more minutes, and then set aside.

Wrap the tortillas in aluminium foil and put them in the oven until you are ready to serve.

If you could not find organic limes, wash them thoroughly with hot water and rub them dry with a kitchen towel. Grate the zest and mix together with the eggs, the cream and the salt.

Melt the butter in another skillet at medium heat. Add the egg mixture and let it cook, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes, then fold in the vegetable and sausage mixture.

Fill the tortillas with the mixture, garnish with some more limes and enjoy!
