Tortillas: your favorite flour or corn tortillas.

The Best Breakfast Taco Ideas

Breakfast for dinner is my thing and when it comes to tacos I don’t hold back.

Have you seen the Black Bean & Queso Breakfast Tacos or Steak and Egg Tacos– oh. my. goodness! Steak and veggies in a corn tortilla and topped with a fried egg So. Good.

But these Sausage & Pineapple Salsa tacos are in a league of their own. Contrary to my other breakfast tacos recipes, this one doesn’t have eggs but instead brings the breakfast sausage to center stage. I love the smoky, spicy sausage paired with fresh and tangy pineapple salsa.

How to Make Pineapple Salsa for Breakfast Tacos

First, you start with classic pico de gallo, add chopped pineapple and ta-da! You have Pineapple salsa ready for tacos, salads, wraps, and anything else you can think to eat it with.

I recommend making it up to 2 days beforehand to cut back on kitchen time come Taco Tuesday. On nights like this, it’s time to sit back and enjoy time with family, friends, and tacos.
