Method
 

Basic Scrambled Eggs
  1. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.
  2. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  3. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently pushing the cooked portions to the center and tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  4. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist, then remove from heat.
Quick Black Beans
  1. Combine black beans, garlic powder, cumin, and water or broth in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.
Simple Pico de Gallo
  1. In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt.
  2. Stir well and let sit for at least 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Assembly
  1. Warm tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-30 seconds per side, or microwave briefly until pliable.
  2. Layer scrambled eggs, black beans, and shredded cheese onto each warm tortilla.
  3. Top with pico de gallo, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy your customized breakfast tacos.

Notes

Feel free to customize your tacos with additional toppings like sautéed vegetables, bacon, sausage, or different cheeses. Adjust spice levels by adding more jalapeño or a hotter pepper to the pico de gallo, or by choosing a spicier hot sauce. This recipe is easily scalable to serve more or fewer people.
