I love tacos! So when I get a chance to have them for breakfast I am always in. These are perfect for the entire family because everyone can make them their own, so you're feeding all types of eaters with one meal.
Whether you prep the fillings ahead of time for a fun weekday breakfast, or serve them as part of a brunch spread on the weekend, these tacos will be a crowd pleaser. Get creative and switch up the toppings to keep it interesting week to week!

The ingredients needed to make these breakfast tacos are incredibly versatile. You can use anything you want but here are just some options to get you started:
- Crumbled tofu or vegan egg
- Portobello bacon recipe
- Black beans
- Lentil walnut taco meat
- Taco sized tortillas
How to Make Vegan Breakfast Tacos
Once the fillings are prepped, get to making the tacos. Here's what you need to do:
- Fill warm tortillas with the egg mixture, beans and taco meat.

Serving suggestions
Add more flavor by loading these breakfast tacos with your favorite toppings. I recommend the following:
- Shredded cabbage
- Avocado
- Red onion
- Jalapeño
- Spicy cilantro cream sauce
- Salsa
- Hot sauce
- Shredded cheese or cheese sauce
Tips and tricks
Here are a few more suggestions to get you going:
- Warm the tortillas before filling so they don't break.
- You can quickly warm them by wrapping in a damp paper towel and heating in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Keep heating in 15 second increments to get them soft and pliable.
- Add in extra veggies like bell peppers, onions, spinach, etc.
- Use taco sized tortillas. To keep them healthier use corn, and find gluten-free if needed.
- Prepare the bacon, egg, beans, taco meat, and toppings in advance to save time in the morning. Store separately in the fridge until ready to serve.
