Ingredients
  

4 small whole wheat pita breads

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors)

1/4 cup diced onions

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled turkey sausage or plant-based sausage

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Salsa or hot sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Pitas: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut each whole wheat pita in half to create two halves, resulting in 8 mini pita circles. Lightly brush each half with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes until they are warm and slightly crisped.

    Scramble the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil, and sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until they are soft (about 2-3 minutes). Pour in the beaten eggs, season with salt and pepper, and scramble them until fully cooked. Mix in the crumbled sausage and allow to cook together for an additional minute.

      Assemble the Tacos: Once the pita halves are ready, take them out of the oven. Spoon a generous amount of the scrambled egg mixture into each pita pocket. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley.

        Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Mini Breakfast Taco Pita Circles warm, with your choice of salsa or hot sauce on the side for an extra kick. Enjoy these delightful, handheld breakfast bites!
