    Breakfast tacos were a pretty common breakfast options when I lived in Texas. Having come from living in the Mid-Atlantic, I had never heard such a thing. While my work office back home usually had bagels and donuts; out in Texas it was breakfast taco platters.

    Torchy’s Tacos had the best breakfast taco (in my opinion). I’ve since come to the conclusion that breakfast tacos are totally socially acceptable anytime for breakfast, lunch or even dinner.

    Ingredients

    • Gluten-free tortillas (I use Siete)
    • Eggs
    • Bacon
    • Avocado
    • Salsa
    • Ghee
    Ingredients for grain free breakfast taco. Siete tortillas, package of bacon, half of an avocado, bowl of salsa and four eggs.

    How to Make + Assemble

    In a skillet pan on medium heat, place tortilla shell down and warm each side for 1 minute. Set aside.

    Variations

    • Meat- instead of bacon, use ground breakfast pork sausage, chorizo, Italian sausage
    • Toppings- hot sauce, sour cream or cheese
    • Vegetarian- sub out the meat for black beans, chickpeas, tofu or meat substitute of choice.

    Why you’ll love this recipe

    • Healthy- this is a well balanced breakfast with ample protein, carbs and fats.
    • Simple- easy to assemble and uses ingredients that you probably already keep in your house.
    • Meal prep- this is a great breakfast to meal prep the ingredients the day before and assemble the next day for a fast breakfast.
    • Flavorful- I love the flavors especially the hot sauce with eggs and avocados. Takes me back to Texas every time.

    Are breakfast tacos healthy?

    Yes, they can be. The eggs and bacon are a perfect source of protein. The avocado is an excellent fat. The salsa is loaded with tomatoes, peppers and cilantro. The grain free tortilla is light and easy on the digestive system. These tacos are gluten and dairy free made following the recipe.

    These tacos are perfect to make ahead the ingredients such as the bacon and eggs then assemble in the morning. If assembling them the next morning, microwave for 20-30 seconds to warm or enjoy cold.
