Breakfast Tacos

It’s been a crazy last few weeks for me…some bad stuff happening and some good. But I’m not quite ready to share on here yet. I was thinking about how much I loved tacos last week, and I wanted to think of more ways to eat this yummy dish. So I thought why not for breakfast. I haven’t experimented too much with breakfast dishes, so this was the perfect opportunity. This easy and meatless breakfast tacos recipe is something I for sure can see myself eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I like my tacos with a few simple but flavorful ingredients and this taco dish is no different. It has eggs, avocado, and salsa with a few yummy toppings. I chose cilantro and Tapatio hot sauce. I gotta admit this was the first time I’ve had Tapatio in yearssss and I don’t hate it!

There is seriously nothing I love more than a yummy salsa. The key to a kick ass salsa is squeezing the lime over the onions so the acid in the lime cooks the onions a bit. I learned this from watching triple D (Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives) – that Guy Fieri show where he goes to food joints and tries/talks about their food. Thinking about the chemistry behind it, it totally makes sense. I feel like the onion flavor is overpowering sometimes, and the lime’s acidity works to dampen that.
