Scrambled egg tacos are a fun twist on breakfast or brunch!

I’ve got breakfast on the brain. Can you tell? I mean, seriously, you can’t go wrong with breakfast, especially when eggs are involved. Eggs are pretty much our go-to around here when we can’t think of anything else to make. This includes all meals. We eat eggs for dinner all too often. What’s so great about eggs though, is what you can do to do them to make them super special. These scrambled egg tacos with cotija cheese are the perfect example of jazzing up eggs, thus making them perfect for any meal of the day!

My love for eggs is almost as great as my love for turmeric, and my love for turmeric is almost as great as my love for tacos. Why NOT throw them all together into one happy little dish?

These scrambled egg tacos with cotija cheese are so simple. A simple sauté of shallot, jalapeno and garlic provide the base for this recipe. Sprinkle it with some super essential herbs and spices: fresh oregano, cumin and ground turmeric. Once the mixture is amazingly fragrant, you pour in the eggs. Sprinkle with black beans and scramble away. With a layer of these turmeric scrambled eggs, avocado and fresh cotija cheese on top of a warm corn tortilla…seriously, is your mouth watering yet? Mine still is, and I created this dish DAYS ago!

Below you will find my favorite beer pairing for these scrambled egg tacos with cotija cheese, plus the recipe! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! xo
