We’ve all been told since we first learned how to feed ourselves that breakfast is the most important meal of the day… Now I’m not entirely sure what about it makes it the “most important” (personally, I think any opportunity to eat should be taken advantage of), but I know that if I don’t eat anything before classes start at 8, I’m not only very grumpy, but I’ve got the attention span of a 5 year old. While there is a simple solution to this problem (duh, eat breakfast), it’s important to realize that getting up early to make a big breakfast takes away from one of my favorite things, sleep. In order to get my very necessary, early morning caloric intake, all the while maximizing the amount of time I get to spend in the dream world, I’ve come up with a delicious and nutritious 5 minute breakfast taco.
What you need (serves 1-2 people):
2 eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup salsa
crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 corn tortillas (or flour if you prefer)
grated cheese (optional)
hot sauce (optional)
What you need to do:
1. Heat a frying pan on the stove. You can melt butter in the pan if you want, but it’s not necessary.
2. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the frying pan.
3. Add the cottage cheese, salsa and red pepper flakes.
4. Cook until the eggs are no longer runny.
5. Plate the egg mixture on the tortillas (you might need 3 tortillas depending on how big the eggs are).
6. Add cheese and hot sauce.
7. Eat up and run to school.
And in a non-facebook/blogging-related comment, that looks delicious. 😛
