Nicole has several recipes from Eating Well on her blog and the he recipe I chose to make was a simple, quick and easy recipe from Eating Well adapted to fit what I had at home on hand. I had corn tortillas on hand because they are lower in carbs than flour tortillas and my life has been full of low carb lately. While I have never been a fan of the corn ones, I decided if I wanted to make tacos in the future that I would go with corn for a lower carb count. Turns out that the way I made this taco was pretty darn delicious and I wouldn't hesitate to use a corn tortilla again!
I also added a tablespoon of fat free refried beans to my taco just to up my protien a little more. I didn't have any salsa on hand but I had fresh jalapeno, onion and tomato so I went with that instead of the salsa.
There are several cupcake recipes on Nicole's blog and while I would have loved to have made cupcakes this month, I knew I had better not. I will have an opportunity for cupcake making in August when we have our Open House party so I decided to save cupcakes for next month.
I also found that Nicole has a passion for jalapeno. I too love jalapeno and was very tempted to make the Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese. However, my desire to not eat the bread was strong so I passed over on that one for a later time also. Needless to say I have several of Nicole's recipes bookmarked and I will definitely go back to try some more out in my future!

I'm an honorary group A member this week, and loving all of the delicious recipes I'm finding. I used to LOVE breakfast tacos before I developed all of my food allergies. 🙁 These look like they turned out so good Shelby.

I like the idea for these great breakfast tacos. I would put refried beans in there too, just because they're delicious.
Great SRC post

I agree with Anna - I love the crispiness of your tortillas. They sound wonderful and fresh.
Anna Hagen says
These look really good! I already like corn tortillas, but the crispiness of yours make them look even better - along with that yummy filling!

I love the idea of breakfast tacos! I am kind of obsessed with breakfast burritos, but I've never tried doing it as tacos...sounds amazing!

I'm glad you liked these! I'm also not a big fan of corn tortillas but have gravitated toward them since they're low carb. 🙂
