Satisfying Breakfast Tacos with Eggs, Veggies, & Charred Tortillas

We don’t always have plenty of time in the morning to sit down to a breakfast, let alone cook a balanced breakfast. If you’re in a rush, great on-the options could be: batch-cooked Colorful Veggie Egg Muffins, overnight oats, a pre-prepped smoothie, peanut butter toast with banana, or Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal.

BUT, when you do have the time – maybe a slow weekend morning or a cozy day off, these breakfast tacos are next level. They’re easy, savory, flavorful, delicious, and satisfying – with a beautiful balance of carbs, protein, fat, and fiber to keep you full and satisfied until your next meal or snack.

The secret to the best breakfast tacos? CHARRED TORTILLAS! Simply heat the tortillas for a few seconds under an open gas flame if you have a gas stovetop. OR pat a little water on each tortilla and place on a saute pan on medium-high heat, flipping halfway if you have an electric stovetop. This youtube video also is a great visual for how to char and heat your tortillas.
