These Breakfast Tacos are filled with seasoned black beans, soft scrambled eggs, and topped with fresh salsa and queso fresco.
We’ve all been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If that’s the case, I say eat your favorite foods first thing in the morning! For me, that’s tacos.
Tacos are my love language and I can eat them all day long. For one thing, tacos are super versatile. From breakfast tacos to dessert tacos, tacos can be filled with anything you want: braised beef, shredded chicken, and even ice cream!
Some tacos are quite time consuming, requiring braised meats or roasting vegetables. These breakfast tacos are quick and easy to make- exactly what you need during the morning rush. Best of all, you can prepare the components ahead of time and just throw it together when you’re ready to eat.
These breakfast tacos are filled with seasoned black beans and onions, soft scrambled eggs, chopped avocado, salsa, and crumbled queso fresco. This is where you can be fun and creative. Perhaps add a dollop of sour cream, maybe a little guacamole, or some crispy bacon. While I opted for scrambled eggs, sunny-side up eggs would be equally delicious! I used small flour tortillas, however, you can make these gluten-free by using corn tortillas.
Despite its name, these breakfast tacos can be served at any meal. As we approach the warmer months, these would be fantastic to serve al fresco with an ice cold agua fresca or a tasty margarita! This recipe can be easily multiplied to serve a party.
