Fried Egg Breakfast Tacos (gluten free and paleo)

Jump to Recipe

Breakfast tacos!!!

Woohoo!  This recipe makes me so happy cuz it combines two of my favorite things: breakfast AND tacos. Who’s with me on this?

It’s my humble opinion that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  I wake up HUNGY and like to start my day off right with plenty of healthy fats and good protein. I know not everyone feels this way.  My husband is never hungry in the morning and usually eats much later in the day (I’m usually already having second breakfast by then!)

This recipe is for folks like me who adore breakfast and want a quick, easy, and ridiculously delicious way to eat well in the morning.

OK…Ok… I know these look super fancy and all.  But the truth is that fried egg breakfast tacos are super easy to throw together.  It’s just all about the toppings.  All you need is some tortillas, a bit of bacon, and a simple fried egg.  The rest is just about smothering them with all of your favorite things for flavor.  Here’s the low down on my version of breakfast tacos:

…the tortillas: as much as I would like to say that I make my own homemade gluten free, grain free, and paleo tortillas, I don’t.  This would require WAY too much effort for me in the morning.  Lucky for me, a company  called SIETE has created a line of tortillas and chips that totally fit the bill. You can check them out HERE.  They seem to be pretty expensive online, but I buy mine from our local Whole Foods for less than half that price. For this post, I used the Cassava Coconut Tortillas.  We also LOVE the Cassava Chia ones. I haven’t tried the Almond Flour ones yet.

…the bacon.  I love both turkey and pork bacon.  Either one is good.  Pro breakfast taco tip: make your bacon ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for when you are craving one of these beauties.

…the fried egg.  The runnier, the better is my mottos when it comes to eggs.  I love a good drippy yolk.

…the fixings.  Feel free to add whatever goodness makes you happy. I’ve chosen three different flavor combos: #1 radish, jalapeño, and avocado, #2 pickled red onion and micro greens, and #3 red cabbage cilantro slaw. And don’t forget the lime wedges, fresh cilantro, and your fav salsa.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 pieces of bacon
  • 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
  • 3 eggs
  • salt to taste
  • 3  tortillas (I use the Siete cassava coconut ones)

TOPPING

  • radish slices
  • jalepeños
  • avocado slices
  • pickled red onion (get recipe HERE)
  • micro greens
  • red cabbage cilantro slaw (see recipe below)
  • lime wedges
  • fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter/ghee in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Break eggs and slip into skillet, one at a time. Reduce heat to low.  Cook slowly until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Remove from pan when eggs are cooked to your liking. (If you like your yolks more well done, flip eggs over and cook to desired doneness.) Sprinkle with salt to taste.
  3. While eggs cook, heat another skillet until hot.  Place tortillas in skillet and heat until tortillas begin to soften and begin to slightly brown.
  4. Place warm tortilla on a serving plate.  Place cooked bacon and fried egg on top of tortilla.  Top with all of your favorite toppings. ENJOY!

Hi I’m Katja!

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏

👉👉 do you have a morning routine?  i’d love to hear how you start your day • leave me a comment below ⤵️⤵️
what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ • what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ •  made a batch of my BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS this morning • a great way to get more vegetables onto your plate • so good with a plate of fried eggs and steamed kale • made with just a few simple ingredients • don’t skip the fresh herbs 🍀🌱🍀

* butternut squash (about 3 pounds)- peeled and shredded
* eggs, whisked
* 1/2 cup gluten free flour (I used a combo of almond flour and tapioca) 
* 1/4 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped ( any combo of parsley, basil, sage, or cilantro)
* 1/4–1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp salt
* ghee or avocado oil for cooking

1. in a large bowl, combine shredded butternut squash, eggs, flour, herbs, garlic powder, and salt.  mix to combine. 
2. in a large skillet, heat a liberal amount of fat of choice over medium high heat.  scoop out 2 tablespoons of mixture into hand, squeeze into a ball, and place into skillet, flattening with the back of a spatula or measuring cup. cook until golden brown.  flip and cook other side.  repeat until mixture is all gone, adding more fat as needed. 
3. place cooked fritters onto a wire rack while cooking the rest.  serve immediately or freeze for later once cooled.
self-care is about creating healthy habits ❤️• having a “self-care” routine before you get sick can keep you healthy 💪 • and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming • there are so many ways to care for yourself that are 100% free:
💧 hydration
☀️ sunshine,
🌈 fresh air
🌲 nature
🤸🏼‍♂️ movement
🙏 gratitude
👯 connection
🧘🏽‍♀️ meditation

the body usually gives us signals that something is starting to be out of balance • it’s important that we listen or it can lead to more serious health issues • every day is another chance to start taking care of ourselves 

my self-care routine focuses heavily on detoxification/elimination because i’m in heal mode • my toxic burden bucket 🪣 got too full + it put me over the edge • the liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands 💦💦 work hard every day to reduce the build up of environmental contaminants and need regular support to keep functioning optimally • my self-care routine includes:

• infrared sauna for sweating
• Gua Sha to move lymph
• epsom salt baths
• daily movement
• hydration
• cold-pressed juices for nutrition
• coffee enemas
• ozone therapy 
• red light therapy 
• time in nature

don’t wait until you get sick to decide to take care of yourself • you only have this one body and this one precious life • it is NOT normal to feel crappy as we age • let’s change the paradigm and move forward in age with grace + vitality ✨✨• than you, @dr.jess.md for motivating me to take things to the next level
sweet potatoes + instant pot shredded chicken + sa sweet potatoes + instant pot shredded chicken + salsa verde + avocado = my kind of dinner • easy, family-friendly + damn delicious 

🍠🍠 roast whole sweet potatoes at 400’F until soft • to cook salsa verde chicken: place chicken thighs or breasts in Instant Pot and sprinkle with cumin and garlic powder • pour salsa verde on top and cook on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes • quick release and shred • 🥑🥑 mash avocado with lime + salt • put it all together, sprinkle with fresh cilantro 🍀🍀 and enjoy • so many good flavors
