Are you looking for something special for breakfast? If you answer is “hell(eloo) yes!” you should definitely check out these delicious Breakfast Tacos with Chicken ;) If you are planning a more “elaborate” breakfast or brunch for your friends or family, these fellas here are something everybody will love! I have to admit though, that I have already shared this portion of six tacos with only one other person… so you actually do not need a whole family to eat all of them. Just sayin’ ;P
I’m not a big fan of a sweet breakfast – me and a bagel with cream cheese and jam on top? Not gonna happen. Since I’ve consistently reduced the sugar intake in my diet, stuff like marmalade or honey hardly end up on any of my bread rolls in the morning. I prefer wholemeal bread or bread rolls with a savory topping… big fan of cheese, a vegetarian spread, or cold cuts. That’s my jam ;P If we want something different and delicious we go for the breakfast tacos.
Whoever came up with the idea to serve tacos for breakfast, deserves a gold medal or some kind of trophy. Tacos are normally considered as “street food” or something you eat as a snack when you want something small… but as you can see – they work well for breakfast too. I filled them with grilled chicken (marinated in a Sriracha sauce), pineapple, eggs, and avocado. That might sound a bit “wild”, but you will see the combination is really delicious! The moment the half-cooked egg yolk flows over the rest of the ingredients…. Mmmmm! ;)
When making these for guests, I recommend making more than just one per person. Those little wraps will be very popular for sure. If you want to keep your guests busy, you can serve the different ingredients separately in little bowls and everybody can grab something and fill the flour tortilla. But here as well – make more because people tend to pack those tortillas with everything they can reach. From my experience, nobody will hold back ;P

1 rote Chilischote
1 Dose (ca. 430g) Ananas, gestückelt
60ml Wasser
1 kleiner Bund Koriander
Saft einer Limette
6 Eier (S)
etwas Öl zum Anbraten
6 kleine Mais- oder Weizentortillas
Zum Servieren:
50g Feta, zerbröckelt
1 Avocado, in Scheiben

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Peel and chop the onion finely. Peel and mince the garlic finely. Cut the chili pepper into rings and remove the seeds. Drain the pineapple from the liquid in the can but save about 1/4 cup (60ml) of it and set aside. Cut the pineapple chunks into dices. Wash and chop the cilantro and set aside.
3. Add the remaining oil to a pan and heat up. Add the marinated chicken strips and fry over medium-high heat until browned from all sides. Add the onion and minced garlic and fry until soft and glossy – about an additional minute or so. Add the chili rings, half of the diced pineapple, the liquid from the can you saved and the water to the pan and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high and let the liquid in the pan reduce and thicken.
4. While the chicken is still cooking, heat up a second large pan with some oil and fry the eggs sunny side up.
5. As soon as the liquid from the pan with the chicken is gone, remove from the heat and add the remaining pineapple, the chopped cilantro and the juice of the lime – mix to combine and season with some more salt and pepper if necessary. Set aside.
6. Warm the tortillas (in the microwave or in a dry pan on the stove), add a fried egg on each tortilla, top with some of the chicken, crumbled feta cheese, avocado slices, and some chopped red cabbage. Serve warm.
2. Die Zwiebel schälen und fein würfeln. Knoblauch schälen und durch eine Knoblauchpresse drücken. Die Chilischote in Ringe schneiden – Samen dabei entfernen. Die Ananasstücke aus der Dose fischen und etwa 60ml vom Saft zur Seite stellen, den Rest wegschütten. Die Ananasstücke in kleine Würfel schneiden. Den Koriander Waschen, abtrocknen und grob hacken. Zur Seite stellen.
3. Das verbliebene Öl in eine Pfanne geben und erhitzen. Das marinierte Hähnchen dazugeben und bei mittlerer bis hoher Hitzezufuhr von allen Seiten anbraten. Die gewürfelte Zwiebel und den Knoblauch dazugeben und glasig mit andünsten – etwa eine Minute mehr, oder so. Die Chiliringe, die Hälfte der gewürfelten Ananas, die zurückbehaltene Flüssigkeit von der Dose und das Wasser mit in die Pfanne geben und kurz aufkochen lassen. Die Temperatur etwas reduzieren und die Flüssigkeit langsam einkochen lassen.
4. Während das Hänhnchen noch köchelt, eine zweite große Pfanne mit etwas Öl erhitzen und die Spiegeleier braten.
5. Wenn die Flüssigkeit beim Hähnchen eingekocht ist, die Pfanne Vom Herd ziehen und die zurückbehaltene Ananas, gehackten Koriander und den Limettensaft dazugeben und alles vermischen. Falls nötig mit Salz und Pfeffer nachwürzen. Zur Seite stellen.
6. Die Tortillafladen aufwärmen (in der Mikrowelle oder in einer trockenen Pfanne auf dem Herd), je ein Spiegelei auf einen Fladen legen, etwas vom Hähnchen darauf geben, etwas zerbröselter Feta, Avocadoscheiben und etwas gehackter Rotkohl. Warm servieren.
