When it comes to breakfast, tacos might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Not only is it a delicious way to start your day, but it’s also packed with protein and healthy fats to keep you satisfied until lunchtime.
This is one of my go-to, hormone + blood sugar balancing breakfast dishes. Plus, it’s easy to customize with your favorite toppings.
Eating a breakfast that is balanced with healthy fats and protein is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, a balanced breakfast provides your body with the energy it needs to start the day. Protein and healthy fats are slow-burning fuel sources that keep you feeling full and energized for longer periods of time.
Additionally, a breakfast that is high in protein and healthy fats can help to regulate blood sugar levels, preventing the mid-morning crash that often accompanies a high-carbohydrate breakfast. This can also help to reduce cravings for sugary snacks and other unhealthy foods throughout the day.
How to Make Grain-Free Breakfast Taco
First, cook four pieces of bacon over medium heat.
Instead of discarding the bacon grease, use it to fry the tortillas in. My personal favorite are Siete tortillas. If you don’t have access to Siete tortillas, don’t worry! You can substitute them with any other tortilla or try my easy cassava flour tortilla recipe.
On medium heat, place the tortillas and cheese in the skillet and fold them over with a spatula.
Fry the tortillas until they’re golden brown, then immediately open them up before they cool down.
Drain the extra bacon grease and add a little butter to the pan for frying your eggs. For two breakfast tacos, scramble three eggs directly in the pan.
Add a quarter of a mashed avocado to each taco. Optional: Add some Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo for a kick of tanginess.
Add the bacon and eggs, fold up the tacos, and enjoy!
