Five Minute Healthy Breakfast Tacos

Quick and easy breakfasts definitely don't have to be boring. So put away the energy bars, instant oatmeal, and pre-packaged breakfast sandwiches and instead make these five-minute breakfast tacos. Your belly will thank you.

These breakfast tacos are packed with protein and healthy fats from eggs and avocado. They have plenty of fiber from the black beans and corn tortillas. And they have plenty of flavor from the salsa and spices. 

I have no doubt this will quickly become one of your favorite breakfasts. And if you have ever been to Texas and has a Texas breakfast taco, you know just how yummy these are.

To make them even healthier, consider adding in some extra veggies. Throw in some fresh spinach, diced zucchini, or tomatoes. If you happen to have any leftover roasted squash or sweet potatoes, they really take these tacos to the next level. You could also add some shredded cheese, diced ham, turkey bacon, or turkey sausage.

One quick note, these five-minute breakfast tacos are made in the microwave. If you prefer a skillet version, try these Homemade Breakfast Tacos with potatoes, bacon, veggies, and eggs. We also love these Breakfast Burritos and Breakfast Quesadillas.

What You'll Need for Breakfast Tacos

• Eggs: Traditionally breakfast tacos are made with scrambled eggs. Use whole eggs, egg whites, or a combination of both.
• Beans: To add some fiber to these tacos, I like to add canned black beans. Pinto beans or refried beans would work great as well. 
• Avocado: To add healthy fats and tame down the spice, avocado is the perfect addition. Guacamole is also delish.
• Tortillas: Corn tortillas are my preference for egg tacos but you could also use flour tortillas, low carb tortillas, or almond flour tortillas.
• Salsa: Finish these tacos with your favorite salsa. Usually, I like spicy red salsa but they are also great with pico de gallo or just some hot sauce. 

What toppings work on breakfast tacos?

If you can put it on a regular taco, you can put it on an egg taco. think of it this way, the egg is just filling in for a more traditional protein like chicken, steak, or carnitas.

• Queso fresco
• Avocado
• Guacamole
• Pico de Gallo
• Salsa Verde
• Cilantro

• Chipotle peppers
• Fresh or pickled jalapenos
