This recipe for ultimate breakfast tacos includes a flexible template for preparing your tacos according to the Foundational Five formula for a balanced meal.
The foundation of any taco is choosing a good tortilla, whether you make them at home, support a local supermarket, or choose your favorite specialty tortillas from the store, such as grain-free varieties. I prefer corn tortillas, but you can choose whatever you like best for this recipe.
The Ultimate Ingredients for Breakfast Tacos
Let’s break down the basic ingredients you need to prepare a delicious and balanced breakfast taco using the Foundational Five.
For a protein source, I prefer scrambled eggs. However, you can also get creative and choose fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh, or any other high-quality protein source of your choice.
Avocados are a great choice for a fat source, and ingredients like cheese or sour cream may also appeal to you.
For non-starchy carbohydrates (fiber), I like to use cilantro microgreens, pickled red onions, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, sautéed bell peppers, and sliced radishes. Have fun selecting the vegetables for your tacos, as each one helps increase the fiber content of this meal, which is important for all meals!
The tortilla options you choose will provide you with starchy carbohydrates. For an extra fiber boost, I also like and recommend refried beans or pinto beans.
For added flavor, try fresh lime juice, salsa, and hot sauce.
I hesitate to call this a „recipe“ as it is a simple template for assembling your tacos according to these guidelines.
