Ingredients for Ultimate Breakfast Tacos
Let’s explore the essential ingredients needed to make a balanced and delicious breakfast taco using the Foundational Five principles.
For protein, scrambled eggs are a popular choice, but feel free to experiment with fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh, or any other protein source you prefer.
Avocados are an excellent source of healthy fats, or you can opt for ingredients like cheese or sour cream.
For fiber-rich non-starchy carbohydrates, consider toppings like cilantro microgreens, pickled red onion, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, sauteed bell peppers, and sliced radish to enhance the nutritional value of your taco.
Choose your tortilla for starchy carbohydrates, and consider adding refried or pinto beans for an extra fiber boost.
Don’t forget the Flavor Factor with fresh lime juice, salsa, and hot sauce to elevate the taste of your tacos.
