Eggs are high in cholesterol content but they can raise the levels of good cholesterol. Eggs contain choline which plays an important role in the development of cell membranes.

How To Make Scrambled Egg Tacos
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Introduce cumin, beans, and garlic.
- Sprinkle 1/8 tsp salt and the same quantity of pepper. Cook for nearly 2 minutes. The garlic should begin turning golden brown.
- Add the spinach and turn the flame off. Toss well. The leaves should just barely wilt. Blend in some lemon juice.
- Whisk eggs, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and 1 tbsp water in a large bowl. In a 10-inch non-stick skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil. Introduce the eggs and stir using a rubber spatula frequently. Cook for 2-3 minutes to get medium-soft eggs. Stop when they’re done.
- Char the tortillas lightly under the broiler or on a gas flame. Fill in with the eggs, beans, queso fresco, sour cream, and cilantro.
Trivia
Eggs are known for one of the highest quality protein. You can easily tell if an egg is raw or hardboiled by spinning it. Hardboiled eggs spin with a smooth motion while the raw egg will wobble in an unstable fashion.
