Breakfast Taco Topping Ideas
One of my favorite things about a taco of any kind, not just these amazing breakfast tacos, is how personalized they can be! Here are some great topping ideas for you to try in your next batch!
Veggies – Sauté peppers and onions before scrambling the eggs, top the tacos with tomatoes, or add a sprinkling of black beans for an extra addition of veggies to your day.
Salsa – Go classic or top with salsa verde, which is always my preference with a breakfast taco.
Cheese – Pepper jack, cheddar, or queso fresco are always my go-to choices. Choose your favorite melty cheese to add to your tacos!
Avocado and Cilantro – Something about sliced avocado and fresh cilantro feels so fancy to me. Like you’re getting breakfast at a hip brunch restaurant and not your own kitchen.
Lime – a squeeze of lime adds a bright burst of citrus to these tacos.
Meal Prep Breakfast Tacos
These venison breakfast tacos are a great meal prep option if you’re short on time in the mornings. Here’s how I do it:
- Prepare the tacos as directed in the recipe card. From browning the sausage, scrambling the eggs, to filling the tortillas with both and topping with cheese.
- Allow to cool to room temperature. You don’t want to EVER store hot food in the refrigerator.
- Wrap the tacos in pairs of two in foil. Because one venison sausage breakfast taco is never enough!
- Refrigerate and reheat. Unwrap and microwave for 1 – 2 minutes until warmed through before adding your favorite toppings and enjoying.
The tacos will keep, well-wrapped in foil, for up to four days.
Now that’s a great start to the day!
