I mean, how can you go wrong? Delicious, savory, crunchy, colorful fillings in a portable shell – it’s literally what dreams are made of. Well, that and Peanut Butter Cup Pie, am I right?
Origins of Tacos
Who exactly invented the taco? It’s still a bit of a mystery! But a professor who has spent much time researching the topic theorizes that tacos were invented by Mexican silver miners in the 18th century. (source) Tacos became popular throughout Mexico and were introduced to the US by Mexican immigrants in the 19th century.
Vegan Breakfast Tacos
In my quest to switch up breakfast, these simple, colorful tacos came to mind. I’ve recently been into pomegranate arils on EVERYTHING, especially baked sweet potatoes with black beans, onion, cilantro and salsa. It’s literally my go-to lunch these days and I have no plans of changing that anytime soon. I highly recommend it right after you nosh on these tacos. This recipe comes together in about 30 minutes and is seriously versatile! Not a tofu fan? Sub roasted sweet potatoes or leave it out. No cilantro? Sub kale. Mash your black beans for more a “refried” feel. The breakfast possibilities are endless. These tacos would make a colorful, filling and healthy breakfast or brunch for two, and are easy to multiply for a crowd. Bonus? The toppings keep for days in the fridge so you can make them ahead and nosh on them all week in various forms. I hope you give these a try! And if you do, be sure to tag a picture #minimalistbaker on Instagram so we can see. Cheers!
