Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 6 pieces romaine or butter lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup diced red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup diced red onion
- 1 piece avocado
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs together with the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the ghee. Allow it to melt and coat the skillet evenly.
Step 3
Add the diced red onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Arrange them as taco shells on a serving plate.
Step 6
Halve and pit the avocado. Scoop out the flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork, then stir in the fresh lime juice. Add a pinch of salt, to taste.
Step 7
Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly into each lettuce leaf.
Step 8
Top each taco with a dollop of mashed avocado, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and add a drizzle of optional hot sauce if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 compliant breakfast tacos!
