Ultimate Ingredients for Breakfast Tacos
Let’s break down the main ingredients needed to make a delicious, nutritionally balanced breakfast taco using the five basic principles.
As for protein, what I enjoy the most is scrambled eggs. However, you can be creative and choose fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh, or any other quality protein you like.
For fats, avocados are great to use, you can also enjoy toppings like cheese or sour cream.
For non-starchy carbs (fiber), I enjoy using microgreens of cilantro, pickled red onion, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, sautéed bell peppers, and sliced radishes. Have fun with the vegetables you choose to accompany your tacos knowing that each one of them will contribute to increasing the fiber in this meal, which is important for all meals!
For starchy carbohydrates, the type of tortilla you choose will provide carbohydrates; Additionally, I enjoy and recommend refried or pinto beans for an extra boost of fiber.
For the flavor factor, try fresh lemon juice, salsa, and hot sauce.
I hesitate to call this a “recipe” because it is a simple template for preparing your taco following these guidelines.
