This recipe for TexMex Veggie Egg Scramble is one I’ve made often. It is quite delicious!
The recipe is simple to prepare, and the hot finished breakfast makes a healthy sized portion to enjoy! How can you go wrong with lots of protein and veggies to start the day? Here’s how to make this breakfast dish.

Cook The Veggies
Heat olive oil (or whatever type oil you are using) on Medium heat in a large, non-stick skillet. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add chopped zucchini, tomatoes, bell pepper and green onions.
Cook the veggies (and stir often) until they become tender (but not mushy).
TIP: If you do not like zucchini, broccoli makes a great substitute and tastes good in this dish, as well! If you don’t enjoy tomatoes with the eggs, you can substitute chopped red bell pepper as well. Just keep the quantity the same for any substitutions, and you will be just fine. You really can’t hurt this egg dish.
Prepare The Eggs
While the veggies are cooking, place eggs, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, a pinch of salt and pepper, and oregano into a small bowl. Whisk them until fully combined.
Time To Make A TexMex Veggie Egg Scramble!
Put the skillet of veggies back on Medium heat, then pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook the TexMex Veggie Egg Scramble until the eggs are set, stirring often to scramble them while they cook.
Once the TexMex Veggie Egg Scramble is cooked to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. Take a little bite, and add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve the eggs hot. This makes a large serving, and the healthy veggies cooked with the eggs will help to fill you up.
If you do not want that large of a portion, simply use two eggs. You can also increase the number of eggs to four, then divide the total into two servings. Your choice!
I hope you have a chance to try this breakfast dish. The veggies add extra flavor and texture to scrambled eggs, and the spices add a nice TexMex touch, too! YUM. Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day.
