Ingredients
For The Tacos
- 1 cup crumbled tofu or vegan egg see note - or use regular egg if you don’t need it vegan
- 1 cup portobello bacon recipe chopped into smaller pieces or use other bacon recipe you prefer
- sea salt to taste if needed
- 1 cup black beans homemade or store bought
- 1 cup lentil walnut taco meat or any other taco meat you prefer - see note
- 8 taco sized tortillas gluten-free if needed
Instructions
- Cook the crumbled tofu or vegan egg over medium heat. When almost done, add the bacon and mix in. Put into a bowl and set aside.
- If you want the cabbage wilted a little, add to the pan and saute with broth or oil until just wilted. You can also use it cold, but this is a good option too.
- Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and heating in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Keep heating in 15 second increments to get them soft and pliable.
- Fill with ingredients of choice, we used 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture, beans and taco meat per taco. Then topped with all the fixings.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Warm Tortillas: As I mentioned earlier, warming the tortillas before filling is an essential step. I do this to make them more pliable so they don't break and cause a mess.
- Save Time: I like to prepare the plant-based bacon, egg, beans, taco meat, and toppings in advance to save time. That way everything is ready for a quick assembly the next day!
- Drain Beans: To keep these breakfast tacos neat and mess-free, I recommend draining the liquid from the canned beans before adding to your tortillas.
- Pre-Shredded Cabbage: I like to save time by buying cabbage that is pre-shredded. If you can’t find any, you can get packaged coleslaw since it usually only has a few pieces of carrot in it!
- You can adapt these to be whatever you prefer with the toppings and main ingredients.
- Nutrition facts use my base recipe without toppings. They will change depending on what you add.
