🌮 What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • Whole30 breakfast tacos are such a fun way to start the day! Let’s face it, breakfast can get a little repetitive and boring. Mornings are wild, so there’s not always time to cook up a full spread, especially one that’s always completely compatible with a Whole30 round. If you’re like me, you find a couple of things that work and they become your go-to breakfast day after day until you just can’t eat them one more time. Sound familiar? Well, these tacos are here to get you EXCITED about your mornings again!
  • The scrambled eggs are wonderfully fluffy. The simple homemade breakfast sausage is tender and full of flavor and SO easy to make. Pop a scoop of each into a lettuce cup, top them with tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado, and in no time at all you’ve got a handheld meal that’s tasty and checks all the boxes on the meal template.

👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips

  • Don’t stop here. Get creative with your Whole30 breakfast tacos, adding other ingredients or flavors as you like. Swap out the avocado slices with a simple guac. Skip the cherry tomatoes and opt for a compatible salsa or pico de gallo instead. Throw on some diced jalapeño or cauliflower rice or roasted sweet potato or sautéed peppers and onions. Round it all out with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  • Salting the eggs and letting them rest before cooking them is an optional step, but really encouraged! Not only does it season the scrambled eggs, but giving the eggs time to absorb the salt helps them turn out creamy and fluffy. If you struggle with homemade scrambled eggs being bland and dry, definitely give this method a try.
  • On that note, the temperature of your skillet also has a big impact on the texture of your scrambled eggs. Make sure you’re cooking the eggs of medium-low heat – trust me, it’s worth the few extra minutes. Cooking them on higher heats make get the job done faster, but you’re much more likely to end up with dry, crumbly scrambled eggs.

Notes

  • Letting the scrambled egg mixture rest in the mixing bowl is optional, but encouraged. Salting the eggs and giving them time to absorb the salt makes the eggs creamy, tender, and moist.
  • Make-Ahead or Meal Prep: Prepare all components of the breakfast tacos ahead of time. Refrigerate the crumbled sausage separately from the scrambled eggs, and store both separately from the prepared toppings. When ready to eat, reheat the sausage and the eggs in the microwave, then assemble desired number of tacos and serve. Components will keep up to 3 days if refrigerated in airtight containers.
