The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • When selecting eggs, opt for organic, free-range eggs for the best flavor.
  • For a spicy twist, substitute jalapeno pepperjack cheese for the pepperjack cheese.

  • Substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a healthier option. Avocado oil is high in monounsaturated fats and is a great source of vitamin E, both of which are beneficial for heart health.
  • Substitute pepperjack cheese with cheddar cheese for a milder flavor. Cheddar cheese is a milder cheese than pepperjack and will give the tacos a less intense flavor.

Vegetarian Refried Bean & Egg Tacos Replace the eggs with 1 can (15 ounces) of black beans, cooked and mashed. Top with shredded cheddar cheese instead of pepperjack cheese. Omit the sour cream.



Honduran Rice and Plantains - This traditional Honduran side dish is a great accompaniment to the Refried Bean & Egg Tacos. The combination of the creamy beans and eggs paired with the savory rice and sweet plantains makes for a delicious and balanced meal.


Pico de Gallo: Pico de Gallo is a fresh and flavorful salsa made with diced tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro, and lime juice. It is a great addition to the meal as it adds a bright and zesty flavor that complements the rice and plantains. Plus, it is an easy and nutritious way to add a punch of flavor to any meal.
