Let's TACO 'bout Breakfast!
Breakfast burritos: one of the best food items from my pre-vegan days. I used to love the eggs with the potato chunks and melted cheese... until I realized I definitely should NOT be eating animal products.
And I haven't had a breakfast burrito since going vegan, over two-years ago.
But this post isn't about breakfast burritos. "Why" you ask? Well, my reader, it's because TEXAS.
I was born in Texas, so there's always a littleeee part of me that has that TX pride.
In Texas, breakfast tacos (not burritos) are the REAL DEAL.
Okay, I've actually never had one, but I can 100% guarantee that breakfast tacos are a serious Texas thing. After making the vegan version, I now totally understand why.
My VEGAN BREAKFAST TACOS are easy to make, oil-free, healthy, and non-vegan-family-member approved. So actually, these are the real deal.
Tofu Scramble + Roasted Potatoes + Avocado + Salsa + Corn Tortilla = My Breakfast #GOALS
So get pressin' that tofu, choppin' those taters, and pickin' that perfect avocado because it's time to revamp your breakfast.
