Try these ultimate breakfast tacos that are delicious anytime, quick and easy to make, and packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats.
This Ultimate Breakfast Tacos recipe includes a flexible template for making tacos that follow the Foundational Five formula for a balanced meal.
The foundation of tacos is choosing a great tortilla, whether you make them from scratch at home, buy them at your local supermarket, or buy them from your favorite specialty store, like grain-free tortillas. I like corn tortillas, but you can choose whatever you prefer for this recipe.
Ingredients for the Ultimate Breakfast Taco
Using these five foundational elements, let’s break down the key ingredients needed to make delicious, nutritionally balanced breakfast tacos.
When it comes to protein, my favorite is scrambled eggs, but you can get creative with fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh, or any other good protein of your choice.
Avocados are a good source of fat, but you can also enjoy ingredients like cheese and sour cream.
For non-starchy carbs (fiber), I like to use cilantro microgreens, pickled red onions, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, sautéed bell peppers, sliced radishes, etc. Enjoy whatever veggies you top your tacos with, as they all help increase your fiber intake. Fiber is important in every diet.
For starchy carbs, your choice of tortilla will provide some carbs, and refried or pinto beans are great options for fiber.
For flavor, try the fresh lime juice, salsa, and hot sauce.
I hesitate to call this a “recipe” as it is a simple template for making tacos following these guidelines.
