Tacos for breakfast? Of course! Pinto beans add a healthy dose of fiber and low-carb tortillas erase any remaining guilt factor. Make these as mild or spicy as you like with your favorite taco sauce or salsa.

Breakfast Taco Cups

Ingredients

• 1 6 " tortilla preferably low-carb
• 1 strip of cooked bacon crumbled (I used vegetarian)
• ½ teaspoon taco seasoning
• ¼ cup pinto beans drained and rinsed
• 1 egg or 1/3 cup egg substitute such as Egg Beaters
• cilantro
• taco sauce
• 1 tablespoon crumbly Mexican cheese such as Cacique Panela

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Heat a tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften. Fold it into a ramekin to form a cup.
• Stir the taco seasoning into the pinto bean. Spoon about 1/3 cup of beans into the bottom of the tortilla.
• Carefully break an egg on top or pour in the egg substitute, leaving about 1” at the top.
• Add crumbled bacon and bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg is fully set.
• Remove from oven and top with cheese, taco sauce and cilantro or any of your favorite taco toppings. Enjoy!
