Black Bean Breakfast Tacos

The healthiest breakfast tacos are made with fresh ingredients, have little added fat, and keep you full longer so you don't have to snack until your next meal, like all the breakfast taco recipes inside the Taco Tuesday Cookbook.

These breakfast tacos have protein from the eggs and black beans, fiber, and a little cheese -because really, can you even have tacos without cheese? Well, you could. I'm just saying that a little goes a long way.

Due to the health benefits of black beans, I love using them in all kinds of recipes, like my black bean taquitos and even black bean quesadillas. These breakfast tacos are my latest recipe to use this healthy ingredient in ways my kids love.
