How To Make Breakfast Tacos
Gather your ingredients and follow these simple steps to assemble breakfast tacos in minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Crack two large eggs into a small bowl, whisk lightly, then add to the hot pan. Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and stir continuously with a spatula until the eggs form soft curds and are cooked through but still tender. Remove from heat.
To assemble, warm two tortillas if you like, divide the scrambled eggs between them, and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon on salsa and add guacamole. Finish with any additional toppings you prefer and serve immediately while warm.
Additional Toppings
If you want to boost flavor or texture, try some of these options:
- Dairy-free sour cream: a creamy, tangy option for those avoiding dairy.
- Hot sauce: adds heat and brightness.
- Jalapeños: sliced fresh or pickled for spice; remove seeds if you prefer milder heat.
- Black beans: not paleo, but a good fiber-rich addition if you’re not following that diet.
