lil carb Taco Breakfast Pizza


Everyone knows I love my taco dinners but since most of the time it is just Jason and I for dinner we have leftover taco meat. This is just one of the many ways I like to use it so nothing goes to waste! I hope this recipe gives you some inspiration to not only use leftovers in a new way but also opens your mind into the world of breakfast pizzas! If you liked this recipe let me know and I will show you some of my other breakfast pizzas!

lil carb Taco Breakfast Pizza 
Serves 1 or 2 
(Jason can eat a whole one, I can only eat half before I am stuffed!)

2 eggs
1 Tbsp half & half
1/2 cup leftover taco meat
5 slices roma tomato
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 Tbsp butter
salt & pepper

*Plus toppings of your choice- guacamole, sour cream, taco sauce, etc!

Start by warming your taco meat in the microwave for 1 minute and set aside.
Then whisk 2 eggs with half and half and a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.

In an 8 inch, non stick skillet melt butter on medium high heat.
Add in the whisked eggs.
To create a perfect egg-pizza-"crust" follow my 3 simple tips (reference my video above too!)
1. Swirl the pan to get the egg moving.
2. Scrape away the egg from the sides.
3. Pull the egg away from the sides allowing the raw egg to get underneath and cook.
Continue to do this until the egg crust is mostly cooked.
Then time to assemble the pizza!
Turn the heat down to medium low and add your taco meat onto your egg "crust".
Arrange tomato slices on top of the taco meat and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and then sprinkle cheese all over.
Cover and allow the cheese to warm and start to melt.
Remove from the heat and run your spatula around the pans edge to loosen the "pizza".
Plate and top with your favorite taco toppings and ENJOY!
