These tacos are not only easy to whip up but also pack a punch of flavors and nutrients. Whether you're a fan of hearty breakfasts or looking for a healthy start to your day, these veggie tacos are sure to become a new favorite!
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is a favorite because the Greek yogurt adds a creamy texture and works as a perfect substitute for sour cream. It's incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For an extra boost of protein, try adding eggs, shredded chicken, or black beans!
If you're looking to make it dairy-free, simply swap the Greek yogurt for hummus or dairy-free plain yogurt. This recipe has become a staple in my household, especially on Tuesdays!
How to Make These Breakfast Veggie Tacos
Ingredients:
3 of your favorite tortillas: I used cassava flour tortillas for a gluten-free option, but you can use corn tortillas or flour tortillas based on your preference.
1/3 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt: For a non-dairy alternative, simply substitute with hummus or dairy-free plain yogurt.
1/3 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup red onion, sliced
1/4 cup bell pepper, sliced (feel free to use poblano peppers for a spicier kick)
1/2 avocado, sliced
2 handfuls of spinach (kale works too)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Everything But the Bagel seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions:
Prepare the Tortillas
Heat a medium-high heat on a hot skillet.
Place each tortilla in the skillet and heat for about 3 minutes on each side until crispy and warm.
Set the heated tortillas aside on paper towels to keep them warm.
Cook the Veggie Filling
In the same skillet, add olive oil.
Toss in the red onion, bell pepper, and chickpeas.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the veggies start to soften, add the spinach and lemon juice.
Cook until the spinach is wilted, then remove from heat.
Assemble the Tacos
Spread a layer of plain Greek yogurt evenly on each warm tortilla.
Top each tortilla with the warm veggie mixture.
Add slices of avocado for a rich, creamy touch.
Sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel seasoning for an extra burst of flavor.
How I Like to Serve My Veggie Tacos
I like to serve my veggie tacos right away for the best taste and texture. On leisurely weekend mornings, I enjoy adding fresh cilantro, green onion, or a sprinkle of cheddar cheese to elevate the flavors. These extras turn the tacos into a delicious and healthy breakfast that might become your new favorite!
Customizing and Variations for Your Tacos
You can easily make these tacos your own with your favorite toppings and variations. For a protein boost, try adding scrambled eggs, or enhance the flavor with a dollop of store-bought salsa. Experiment with pico de gallo, cherry tomatoes, or black beans for a heartier option.
If you want to make the recipe dairy-free, simply substitute the Greek yogurt with hummus or dairy-free plain yogurt. This makes the tacos accessible for those with dairy sensitivities or those following a plant-based diet.
If you're exploring different ways to enjoy these tacos, consider these variations:
Egg Breakfast Taco: Swap the chickpeas with beaten eggs for a classic twist.
Sweet Potato Tacos: Add sweet potatoes for a touch of sweetness and extra nutrients.
Healthy Breakfast Recipes: Incorporate refried black beans or mung beans for additional protein.
