Ingredients

  • Onion – I prefer white onions, but yellow or red can also work. Use your favorite.
  • Butter – Use high quality butter for best flavor.
  • Sour cream – Use whatever type of sour cream you prefer. You can also use plain Greek yogurt.
  • Chipotle peppers – Look for canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. They are sometimes found in the Hispanic section of grocery stores. They have some heat, so adjust according to your personal spice preference.
  • Eggs – Use high-quality eggs for best flavor.
  • Salt and pepper
  • Tortillas – You can use corn or flour tortillas. I prefer corn here for classic flavor, but you can’t go wrong with flour either. Just make sure you heat them up properly.
  • Black bean – Use canned black beans, or serve them with the best refried black beans.
  • Toppings – See a whole list below, and if you want to go basic, don’t skip the cilantro and avocado.

Mix chipotle sour cream. In a small bowl, stir together finely chopped chipotle peppers and stir together with sour cream. TIP: Add more or less of the Chipotle pepper sauce, depending on how spicy you want it. More sauce, more spice.

Heat components. Heat black beans (in microwave or saute pan) and heat tortillas as desired. TIP: If you are using corn tortillas and you have a gas stove, I highly recommend heating them directly up over a burner. Be careful as they burn quickly. You really need to watch them!
Assemble egg tacos. Top tortillas with beans, eggs, onions, and a dollop of chipotle sour cream. Add any additional toppings as desired.

More Toppings for Breakfast Tacos:

I donโ€™t think the breakfast tacos need much more than avocado and cilantro, but Mexican egg breakfast recipes can be dressed up or down with toppings. Thatโ€™s the beauty! So if you want to add a bit more, try some fresh tomatoes or salsa.

How to Feed Breakfast Tacos to the Whole Family

I get it, feeding kids can be tough! But following the Division of Responsibility and knowing your job and your childโ€™s job makes it SO much more enjoyable. Youโ€™ll be able to feed your kids any meal, which will help ensure that they are eating a variety of nutritious foods โ€“ with plenty of play food sprinkled in.

Serve the healthy breakfast tacos recipe family-style letting everyone make their own taco according to their own preferences. My kids tend to go really crazy with taco toppings, and while it’s sometimes difficult to not comment on their (what I think is odd!) concoctions, I don’t say anything. Serve the meal with a few items you know your kids will eat, like fruit, milk, and/or bread and butter if they don’t like tortillas.
