Tex-Mex eggs look good simply because they’ll make you feel good. Bright red bell peppers are one of the richest red bell peppers and vitamin C sources you’ll get, and they do their bit in fighting heart disease and boosting your immunity. The zucchini matches up with its vitamin A and potassium levels. With their naturally strong flavors at your disposal, you won’t have to do much to give your taste-buds a party.
Your scrambled eggs can spice up your other elements of breakfast too— give it a try with a stack of pancakes or a few strips of paleo bacon!
