Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups vegetable broth or water
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large eggs
• 4 small flour or corn tortillas
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

How to Make Breakfast Tacos with Spiced Quinoa and Egg

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth or water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
2. While the quinoa cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the spices to the skillet and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet with the spices and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a separate skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness. For a runny yolk, cook for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft.
5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
6. To assemble the tacos, place a generous scoop of spiced quinoa on each tortilla. Top with a fried egg, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious breakfast tacos!

Tips for the Best Results

• Rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove any bitterness.
• Use a non-stick skillet for frying the eggs to prevent sticking.
• Adjust spice levels according to your preference; add chili powder for heat.
• For extra creaminess, mash the avocado with lime juice before adding it to the tacos.

Easy Variations

• Substitute quinoa with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a different texture.
• Add black beans or corn for additional protein and flavor.
• Try different toppings like salsa, pickled onions, or feta cheese.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A smoothie for a nutritious beverage option.
• Crispy breakfast potatoes for added crunch.
