Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  2. While the skillet heats up, chop your squash into small, bite-sized pieces. Once the skillet is hot, add the chopped squash along with any other desired vegetables.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined, or crumble the drained tofu if you’re opting for a vegan version.
  4. Pour the whisked eggs or crumbled tofu into the skillet with the sautéed squash, gently stir the mixture over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Once your filling is cooked, season it generously with spices like cumin, paprika, or your favorites.
  6. Take your taco shells and carefully fill each one with the scrumptious squash and egg (or tofu) mixture.
  7. To finish off your tacos, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the filling and drizzle with lime juice.
  8. Serve your breakfast tacos immediately while they’re warm and inviting.
