This recipe for the best breakfast tacos includes a flexible template for making your tacos following the Five Fundamentals formula for a balanced meal.
The foundation of any taco is choosing a great tortilla, whether it’s making it from scratch at home, supporting a local grocery store, or choosing your favorite store-bought tortillas, such as grain-free varieties. I like corn tortillas, but you can choose what fits your preference for this recipe.
Final Breakfast Taco Ingredients
Let’s break down the key ingredients needed to make a delicious and nutritionally balanced breakfast taco using Foundational Five.
For protein, I like scrambled eggs best. However, you can get creative and choose fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh, or any other quality protein you like.
For fat, avocados are great to use, you can also enjoy ingredients like cheese or sour cream.
For non-starchy carbs (fiber), I like to use cilantro microgreens, pickled red onion, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, sauteed peppers, and sliced radish. Have fun with the veggies you choose to top your tacos, knowing that each of them will contribute to increasing the fiber of this meal, which is important for every meal!
For starchy carbs, the type of tortilla you choose will provide carbs, plus I like and recommend refried beans or chickpeas for an added fiber boost.
For the flavor factor, try fresh lime juice, parsley, and hot sauce.
I hesitate to call this a “recipe” because it’s a simple template for building your taco following these guidelines.
