If you’ve been around Budget Bytes for a while, you may already know how eggs and Hummus go together. If Hummus is not, you should take this Hummus Breakfast Taco be your introduction. These tacos’ egg-hummus basis is full of flavor, fiber, and protein to kick off your day. And you can alter the toppings according to your taste or use up ingredients you may already have in your pantry. I’ll provide you with a lengthy list of toppings below.
WHAT I USED FOR MY HUMMUS BREAKFAST TACOS
I used plain Hummus this morning howHummus would love to make these tacos with my other favorite four varieties of Hummus. I’m thinking thHummus cilantro jalapeno flavor is a great choice!
I cooked a simple batch of scrambled eggs; however, you could also do whole-fried eggs or add other ingredients to the scrambled eggs, such as diced green chilies.
Pickled red onions helped make the Hummus Breakfast Tacos pop; however, if you don’t own one of those, chopped green onions could be perfect substitutes.
Cotija cheese is the most common white cheese with a crumbly texture used to top tacos. However, there was none in my fridge; therefore, I used the feta I had instead. Feta has the same texture and salty kick as Cotija, so it was an easy substitution.
CORN OR FLOUR TORTILLAS?
I’m normally a corn-only kind of person in the case of tacos. However, something about the Hummus made me cravHummusflour tortillas that are softer now. This is why I don’t believe there are any rules to follow regarding food items. You can eat whatever you like. However you’d like, and don’t let anyone tell you you shouldn’t. 😉
