Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

  • 8 taco size flour tortillas
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • ½ pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Basil, cut into thin ribbons
  • 2 fully cooked sweet Italian sausages, diced

Directions:

In a large saute pan, over medium-heat, add in a little bit of olive oil. Add in the diced sausages and cook until well browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and discard any excess fat. Add in a little more olive oil if needed, along with the zucchini, beans and tomatoes. Cook over medium heat until the zucchini is tender crisp and tomatoes start to burst, about 5-6 minutes. (if the pan is dry add a little bit of water) Season with salt and pepper and add in the garlic. Cook for an additional 30 seconds. Set aside. In a nonstick pan, over medium-low heat add in a little bit of olive oil and the eggs. Cook the eggs slowly, moving them around the pan to help scramble. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat when the eggs are just set. Line up the tortillas. Divide the eggs, sausage and bean and veggie mixture among the tortillas. Top each with some shredded mozzarella cheese and basil.

Kid-friendly: Make theirs with eggs, sausage and a little cheese. Serve veggies and beans on the side.

Add spice: Add some spicy Italian cherry peppers to the top.
