Ingredients

▢ 6 tablespoons (88mL) Just Egg
▢ 1 handful (44g) baby spinach
▢ 1/2 cup (130g) cooked black beans
▢ 2 La Banderita Carb Counter Tortillas
▢ 2 tablespoons salsa of choice

Optional Toppings

▢ avocado
▢ vegan cheese shreds

Instructions

Heat up the black beans and tortillas with your preferred method. Usually I weigh out my beans directly onto my tortillas and then microwave them for about 90 seconds. If you prefer not to use a microwave, you can heat the beans up in a small pot and toast the tortillas in a skillet.
Add spinach to a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. (You can add 1 teaspoon of oil if you like. Generally I skip the oil because my skillet is very nonstick.)
Once the spinach is wilted, add in the Just Egg. Season with salt and pepper, and scramble until set.
Divide the scramble between the two tortillas. Top with avocado if desired, as well as salsa or hot sauce, and enjoy!

Notes

Nutrition Information is for the tacos topped with salsa only. Additional toppings such as avocado or plant-based cheese will need to be calculated separately.

Tortillas: This brand of tortillas comes in several different sizes! The soft taco variety each contain 5g protein and the street taco variety each contain 3g of protein. Mission also makes a plant-powered protein tortilla which contains 7g of protein each.

Beans: My favorite hack for maximum flavor with minimal effort is to buy canned, seasoned black beans or chili pinto beans.

Make with Tofu: If you would prefer to make a classic tofu scramble rather than cooking with Just Egg, simply substitute in two servings (roughly 170g or 2/5 of a block) of extra-firm tofu. Crumble it into the pan and scramble it with a dash of onion and garlic powder and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. A serving of extra-firm tofu contains roughly 7-8g protein depending on the brand.
