Editorial Notes
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.
