Fuel your day with these filling, versatile, protein-packed tacos. The components can be prepped ahead of time for extra speedy weekday breakfasts (or any meal of the day)! Just 30 minutes required. Let us show you how it’s done!
Origins of Breakfast Tacos
Tacos likely originated in Mexico in the 18th century. But what about breakfast tacos? They’re a popular item in restaurants in Austin, San Antonio, and other nearby parts of Texas. And while they likely originated in the kitchens of Mexican immigrant families, whether Austin or San Antonio deserves credit for being their birthplace is contentiously debated!
How to Make Breakfast Tacos
So what makes a taco a breakfast taco? Potatoes, chorizo, and other breakfast-y things! This is our inspired version. The potatoes provide the starchy, filling base and are so easy to chop up, toss with avocado oil and salt, and pop in the oven. While the potatoes bake, there’s just enough time to whip up a batch of our Easy Vegan Chorizo. Or for a shortcut, you can use store-bought or crumble our Vegan Chorizo Sausage Links if you’ve already made a batch. With the potatoes and chorizo ready, all that’s left is wrapping in your favorite corn (or flour) tortillas (homemade if you’re feeling ambitious) and adding toppings! We love adding avocado and our Easy Mango Salsa but also tested with store-bought red salsa, and the tacos were still a magical explosion of flavors. Any salsa would be delicious here, including our Easy Red Salsa, Chipotle Red Salsa, or Roasted Salsa Verde. We hope you LOVE these breakfast tacos! They’re:SmokySpicyFreshSatisfyingVersatile& SO Delicious! They’re perfect for a build-your-own taco bar, make-ahead breakfast, and beyond! And while plenty filling on their own, they would also pair well with our Serrano & Rosemary Guacamole, Crunchy Jicama Slaw (1 Bowl!), Chickpea Chopped Kale Salad with Adobo Dressing, or Instant Pot Black Beans (Perfect Every Time!).
