Cooking Steps
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Dice tomato. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP. Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper crosswise into strips.
In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, cilantro, and as much lime juice as you like. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and green pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred, 6-8 minutes. Stir in Southwest Spice and a splash or two of water until veggies are fully coated. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until water has evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat. Transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
Meanwhile, place tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer; sprinkle evenly with pepper jack. Bake on middle rack until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes. TIP: Don’t let these sit in the oven too long. The tortillas should be soft, not crisp.
Crack eggs into a large bowl; whisk until combined. Season generously with salt and pepper. Melt 2 TBSP butter in pan used for veggies over medium heat. Add eggs to pan; cook, stirring in a figure-eight pattern, until curds form and eggs are cooked to preference. Remove from heat.
Divide tortillas between plates; fill with eggs and veggies. Top with pico de gallo and smoky red pepper crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Delicious! One of the best breakfasts I've had for a long time. I cracked the eggs right over the veggies out of laziness, and it turned out just fine. And the crema was absolutely perfect. My only criticism is that the pico de gallo should have white or yellow onion in it, not red.
Awesome quick easy and tasty meal! We were very impressed and loved learning how to bring flavor to breakfast tacos through charred spiced veggies.
Love these for breakfast. Easy to make and very filling. Great flavor especially with the Pico & Crema.
Wish the veggies were actually charred, or better yet grilled, instead of sauteed. As well, the addition of breakfast sausage or something similar would have made it four stars.
If this is not THE BEST breakfast I have had in a long time! Best breakfast tacos ever. It reminds me of some breakfast tacos I had in Shanghai at an Australian-owned taco place. Outstanding!
This item turned out to be more like three servings. The flavors were amazing and it kept really well for the next day by keeping the part that was to be warmed separate from the cool items and just reheating and putting the taco together the next day. Great flavors.
Being a straight up fan-girl of peppers and onions, this one fit the bill perfectly. The portions were HUGE and actually fed three of the four carnivores in the house. Totally digged the smoky crema.
These are always good - I get them almost every time they're offered. For the crema, I recommend half the smoked paprika and adding a splash of water, so it can be drizzled. This one didn't say that, but without it, it was like a thick paste almost.
Very tasty and I would have never thought of adding all the different vegetables to a breakfast burrito. I usually just do egg and cheese so this was a nice change for something different.
So tasty! The smoked crema on the eggs brought it to life. This will definitely be a go to breakfast.
