Breakfast Tacos




They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  I tend to agree, and I really like to eat something filling and tasty to get my day going.  I have always been a fan of breakfast burritos, due to their portability.  When I came across this recipe for Breakfast Tacos, I immediately wanted to try it out (thank you Men's Health for the recipe).

I think this recipe would work well for tacos or burritos.  I think this would also work well for a brunch – lay out all the components and let your guests put together their own masterpiece.  Add in some fresh fruit and maybe some fresh-squeezed OJ, and you have a great meal that will keep you full for the better part of the day.

In the recipe only egg whites were used.  I like a little color and flavor with my eggs, so I used one whole egg.  The tacos turned out great, and I will definitely make them again.  Here are some suggestions to make these taste better and easier to eat.

1 – Using jar salsa may not the best way to go.  There is a lot of liquid that ultimately leaks out and makes the tortilla soggy.  Dice some tomatoes and onions instead.  Or better yet, mash the avocados and add the tomatoes and onions to that for a quick guacamole
2 – While the 6” tortillas are technically taco-sized, a larger tortilla might make these less messy to eat
3 – A little low-fat cheddar never hurt anyone
