Ingredients
- 8 ounce Impossible steak bites (thawed)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin)
- 0.5 cup yellow onion (diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika (ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder (ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup liquid egg whites
- 4 gluten-free white corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup roasted red salsa
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup liquid egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until fully blended and frothy.
- Heat 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup diced yellow onion and 8 ounces Impossible steak bites. Sauté for 4 minutes until the onions soften and the steak bites develop a rich, browned exterior.
- Season the steak and onions with 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well for 1 minute until fragrant, then transfer the mixture to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula for 2 minutes until soft, tender curds form. Remove from heat immediately.
- Warm 4 gluten-free white corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by dividing the scrambled eggs and spiced plant steak bites evenly among the warm tortillas. Top each taco with 1 tablespoon of roasted red salsa and serve warm.
Notes
Plant steak bites and eggs can be cooked ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly in a skillet and assemble with fresh warm tortillas.
