Black Bean Breakfast Tacos with Turmeric Egg Tortillas

Breakfast tacos, yes I went there. I'm a huge lover of Mexican food - its hard not to be! So when I was thinking about putting a twist on the traditional vegetarian 'big breakfast' this is what came to mind. It has all the same ingredients, eggs, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and avocado. So why not cook it up with some Mexican spices and turn the eggs into tortillas? Its a genius idea... if I do say so myself! And after putting the idea to the test, the taste was even better than I was hoping. I couldn't keep this one to myself, so here it is for everyone to enjoy!

Tortillas

3. Heat the pan on low-medium heat and add in one quarter of the egg mixture.

4. Allow the egg to cook through, then flip it onto the other side.

5. Once both sides are cooked you have your first tortilla, move it aside to continue with the others.

6. Repeat step 3 for the other three quarters of the egg mixture, adding one quarter at a time until there are four tortillas.

Putting it together

1. In each egg tortilla, place 1/4 of the black bean and mushroom mixture.

2. Add 1/4 of the diced tomatoes and 1/4 of the diced avocado to each.

3. Drizzle each taco with 1/4 of a lemon's juice
