Easy Breakfast Fajita Pitas Recipe

To celebrate National Egg Month this year, I’m sharing a recipe that includes both eggs, but also my love of tex-mex food. It’s sort of like a breakfast burrito, but instead, everything is stuffed into a handy pita bread, which is super convenient for taking breakfast-on-the-go.

This breakfast idea came to me when thinking about a popular item on the Jack-in-the-Box fast food restaurant menu — their Chicken Fajita Pita. But rather than chicken, we’re using eggs and we’ve added in the bell peppers.

To make this Easy Breakfast Fajita Pitas recipe, you are going to first saute the bell peppers and onions until tender crisp.

Seasoned scrambled eggs are also cooked. If you wish to wash only one pan, you could cook your peppers and then remove them from the pan and cook the eggs in that same pan. I actually cooked both at the same time, in two separate pans to save on time.

After both the eggs and the veggies are cooked, they are combined together in the pan.

Cut a pita bread in half and open one half to form a little pocket. Fill it with some of the egg and veggie fajita mixture and then you can top with any additional toppings.

Just like with fajitas, you can top it with whatever you like. Some ideas are shredded or crumbled cheese, salsa, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.

Description

Easy Breakfast Fajita Pitasare an on-the-go breakfast ideathat combines scrambled eggs with tex-mex flair! Add your favorite toppings to make it your own.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1/2 green bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1/2 medium onion (sliced)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 3 pocket pita breads (5-6″ diameter, halved)
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese (cheddar, monterey jack, etc, queso fresco, cotija, feta, etc, crumbled cheeses , sour cream, salsa, avocado, cilantro, tomatoes, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil and pan are hot, add peppers and onions and cook them until they are tender-crisp. Turn off heat and remove veggies from the pan to a bowl or plate so that the pan can be used to cook the eggs.
  2. In a bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Beat in chili powder and garlic powder. Melt butter in the nonstick frying pan over medium heat. When butter is melted and pan is hot, pour in egg mixture. As eggs start to cook, push, pull, and fold eggs with a spatula frequently until all egg is cooked and no liquid remains (but don’t overcook ). Turn off heat. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  3. Add the cooked peppers and onions to the eggs, gently folding them together.
  4. Fill each pocket pita bread with desired amount of egg/veggie mixture. Top with optional toppings and enjoy!

Notes

–The actual number of pitas you will get will vary on how large your eggs and bell peppers are. It also varies on how full you fill the pitas. We were able to get 5-6 pockets full, but it’s possible you could end up with as few as 4.

This sounds delicious and looks very filling as well.

This would be great for Sunday breakfast! If I can’t find pitas, I’ll probably make burritos. All that this recipe needs is some good spicy salsa 😉
Greetings from the Inspire Me Monday Linky!
