Raise your hand if youโre ready for breakfast tacos! Better yet, breakfast tacos for dinner 🙌
Ever since my family spent a year living in Texas & now Oklahoma, weโve been eating tacos like itโs our job! Taco Tuesdays are a MUST, as is Fiesta Friday (not sure if thatโs a thing yet, but it totally should be)! Iโm been a firm believer that tacos belong on the menu anytime – lunch, dinner and breakfast.
Breakfast for dinner has to be my favorite! Thereโs nothing quite like changing things up at dinner and serving breakfast instead, especially when its flavor-packed breakfast tacos, loaded with vegan egg, beans and veggies.
Are you ready, because itโs taco time.ย 🌮
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED FOR VEGAN BREAKFAST TACOS?
There are a ton of ways to customize the ingredients in breakfast tacos, but we like to keep things as simple as possible. Hereโs whatโs in it:
- Tortillas:ย Either corn or wheat tortilla will do.
- JUST Egg:ย Weโll be scrambling up our vegan egg just like you would a traditional egg and spicing it up with taco seasoning.
- Refried beans:ย Iโm partialย to refried black beansย but you can also use plain black beans, pinto beans orย even lentils.ย If youโre using store-bought beans, just make sure theyโre vegan.
- Avocado:ย Every type of taco needs avocado, whether itโs sliced orย made into guacamole.
- Salsa:ย I usually top mine withย extra spicy redย salsa (homemade or store-bought).ย Butย pico de gallo, salsa verde or mango berry guacamole would a fun twist!
- Skillet veggies: Thinly sliced peppers of any color, jalapeรฑo and onion cooked up real quick on the skillet adds extra color, flavor and kick!ย
Thatโs it! Extra toppings include roasted potatoes, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, sliced serranos, shredded greens, vegan cheese and/or sour cream and if you have time, vegan chorizo would also be good!
BREAKFAST FOR DINNER TACOS ARE EASY TO MAKE
These plant based breakfast tacos are quick, easy, fun and healthy. While this meal looks a little different from week to week, the basic steps remain the same.We just cook all the individual parts then throw them all together in a taco with little fuss or prep needed.

HOW DO I SCRAMBLE JUST Egg?
JUST egg scramble is so easy to make because it cooks up just like a chicken egg.
To make it, just pour desired amount of JUST Egg into a hot sautรฉ pan, then gently pull the mixture across the pan with a rubber spatula and turn over towards the center, forming large, soft curds. Continue pulling and lifting the cooked egg towards the center of the pan until the mixture looks completely cooked and none of it looks liquid. Add spices, remove from heat and enjoy.
Have fun with the recipe! Get the kids involved in prepping and setting up a taco bar then enjoy making your own creations. Itโs a nice way to change up dinnertime and itโs a healthy way too.

These vegan breakfast tacos feature JUST Egg scramble, beans, avocado and lots of veggies for a hearty, healthy, plant-based breakfast thatโs quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed sweet potatoes, about 1/2 inchย
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup refried beans
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter
- 1 cup JUST Egg
- 1/8 cup diced onions
- 1 fresh diced jalapenฬo (seeds removed for less heat)ย
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- Any other mix-ins (spinach, salsa, cheese, cilantro)
- 8 corn tortillasย
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400°. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Place on a large baking sheet in a single layer and roast 15-20 minutes, until browned and tender.
- Meanwhile, add black beans to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat until warm. Heat refried beans in the same manner.
- When the sweet potato is cooked and the beans are warm, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat evenly with a bit of butter or oil. Toss diced onions and jalapeño to the skillet and gently cook until translucent.
- Shake the bottle of JUST Egg well. Pour the desired amount until the skillet on top of the onion mixture. Shake the skillet to distribute the liquid evenly and let it sit for a moment before stirring.
- Scramble like an egg, scraping and pulling mixture across pan, while still letting the JUST Egg heat evenly until set. When the liquid iIs about halfway cooked through, add in spinach if desired. Scramble until all the liquid is just cooked through. Use the spatula to break the scramble up into fluffy, bite-sized pieces. Remove from heat.
- Heat tortillas one by one over gas stovetop flame or wrap and heat in the microwave, then top each one with scrambled egg, sweet potatoes and veggies. Sprinkle vegan cheese on top and garnish with salsa, cilantro and squeezed lime.
