    Needless to say, I eat my weight in breakfast tacos, daily if I could. Homemade tortillas is just a few mile drive to a local Mercado where they punch out homemade (always corn) tortillas like no bodies business. Stores here are loaded with dozens of salsas and hot sauces to savor on and you should never come home without avocados, just don’t.

    The inspiration to finally post breakfast tacos came from my wonderful food bloggy friend, Kelly from Nosh and Nourish who just published her first cook book, Superfoods at Every Meal. I am so incredible excited and thrilled to talk about her book for 1) because she has breakfast tacos and is now forever my best bff and 2) because it’s just gorgeous. Kelly has recipes such as coconut curried soups, walnut crusted scallops and something I have been oogling for a while, Italian wedding soup with blueberry meatballs…just gorgeous!

    The premise of Superfoods at Every Meal is that you can enjoy all the wonderful health benefits of “superfoods” in every day meals. Such as, blueberries, yogurt, quinoa, coconut oil, kale sweet potatoes, eggs and honey. Adding quinoa to eggs…genius! And topping with a lime swirled yogurt sauce…double the genius!

    The only thing I did change to the recipe was adding avocado, because like I said…never go home with out one and it’s a sin not to add it to your tacos, but other than that, the recipe is deliciously and exactly from the book.  And a HUGE thank you to Kelly for sending me a copy and allowing me to review her beautiful book…congrats Kelly!
