ITALIAN BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS TACOS

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEND

Eating protein in the morning gets your brain working! This dish is a wonderful balance of protein, fiber, good carbs and good fats! Wake up, do breathing exercises, some stretching, a light work out and make this breakfast. I like to call this winning! 'Cause we are the champions - of the world!!!

Serves 1

2 ezekiel 4:9 taco size sprouted grain tortilla
2 organic eggs
Handful of broccoli
1 clove garlic chopped
2 tbsp of antipasto: for the antipasto (italian cured veggies) I went to Whole Foods. A lot of stores have an antipasto self serve section. If your store doesn't you can buy all these ingredients separate in a glass jars. I got a few olives, 1 artichoke, 1 small mozzarella ball, and a bit of roasted red pepper. I put all these in a container and they weigh it out and charge by weight.
1/4 tsp chopped chilli pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
Sprinkle Italian fresh/dried herb (oregano, parsley, basil)
1 small tomato chopped for topping
1/2 tsp butter or oil for cooking.

     
Boil water in a small sauce pan and blanch the brocolli for a couple mins. Drain water and chop the broccoli into small pieces. Chop the rest of the veggies and cheese and have them ready like the above picture. Get the tortillas ready. I cut little strips off either side to make them fit in my toaster. See if they fit in your toaster like this. I find this easy, just make sure they dont touch the element and burn. You can also heat them in the oven or in a pan. I find the toasted easy. Don't forget to switch the toasted to light as they will not take as long as toast. Just get them ready.. don't heat them quite yet!

When making eggs I like to use a really good non toxic non stick pan so I don't have to add much butter.. just a bit! Heat the pan up on med high heat and add butter/oil, garlic and chilli, cook for a minute. Then crack two eggs in the pan and let them fry until the whites start to cook, like the picture above. Salt, pepper and herbs get added here. Give the eggs a stir with a wooden spoon (they will be half cooked) and add all the veggies in. Now its a good time to heat your tortillas in the toaster, push them down, keep it on low. If you toast them to long or let them sit too long waiting to be eaten they get too crispy to fold(and if that happens use them as nachos! It's all good). Back to eggs, reduce the heat to med low and stir it around a bit, then when its cooked through take it off the heat and add the cheese. Your tortillas should be up now. Add the chopped tomato (ops! I forgot) and plate it up.
This dish is full of flavor! Also packed with protein, fiber and omegas, vitamin A, C, and folic acid.
