Scrambled Egg Breakfast Taco with Smoked Salmon and a Tequila Sunrise

A delicious Sunday start to your Cinco de Mayo week 

Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos with Smoked Salmon 
Cook's Notes: 
Enjoy a delicious taco for breakfast or brunch to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Filled with healthy ingredients and loads of Tex-Mex flavor, this taco is definitely company-worthy. The recipe makes four tacos, but the ingredients can be easily increased to serve more. A sunrise cocktail with some fresh fruit is the perfect accompaniment to this meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 white corn shells
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup half and half or 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon Adobo (Mexican seasoning) or Elote seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup each of mini sweet peppers and onions
  • 2 handfuls of torn spinach leaves
  • 1 cup chopped pieces of smoked salmon
  • 1 diced avocado
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • A squirt or two of Sriracha sauce
  • 2/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese or Mexican 4 Cheeses 

Directions:

  • In a blender, mix seasonings with half and half or milk and eggs. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Wrap corn shells in foil and warm for 12 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a frying pan, saute peppers, onions, and chopped spinach. Sauté until the spinach is wilted.
  • On medium-low, add egg mixture, scrambling eggs until almost set. Turn off the heat and add in salmon pieces with chopped tomatoes. Mix well, adding a squirt or two of Sriracha to brighten the taste. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Divide the egg mixture among the four taco shells.
  • Garnish each taco with sliced avocado and serve with a side of fresh fruit.

Tequila Sunrise Mimosa is quick, easy to make, and don't forget the paper umbrella, a must. 

The recipe is from www.gimmesomeoven.com/tequila-sunrise-mimosa/#more- 
and makes one drink. It's the perfect drink also for a Mother's Day Brunch. 
Ingredients: 

  • 1 ounce tequila or mezcal
  • Fresh lime wedge
  • 4 ounces chilled champagne (or approximately half a glass)
  • 4 ounces Florida’s Natural Orange Juice (or approximately half a glass)
  • 1 splash grenadine
  • optional garnishes: slice of fresh orange or lime

Directions: 

  • Pour tequila (or mezcal) into a glass.  Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Pour in champagne until the glass is about half full, then fill the remaining glass (leaving a half inch or so of room on top) with orange juice. Add a splash of grenadine. Do not stir. 
  • Garnish glass, if desired, with cherries, or add orange slices.
  • Serve immediately while it’s still a little bubbly…and enjoy!
