These Vegan Breakfast Tacos are a savory take on breakfast with a Mexican-inspired twist. They’re easy to make, gluten-free, and best of all – delicious!
I’m on a constant lookout for new breakfast recipe inspiration. Yes, I love my Baked Pumpin Oatmeal and I’m always in the mood for some Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats, but sometimes a gal wants something a bit savory.
When visiting Philadelphia last summer, I had the opportunity to have breakfast at PS & Co after one of my races. They had breakfast tacos on the menu and they were really delicious.
Ever since then I have been thinking about them. I put my spin on my own version and I’m excited to share these Vegan Breakfast Tacos with you!
Vegan Breakfast Tacos
I started the base of the recipe with my Simple Tofu Scramble. After making a batch of that, all you really have to do is add beans and salsa into the tacos and you’re good to go.
Such an easy breakfast but it’s overfilling with flavor. It’s also full of protein from both the tofu and the beans.
You won’t have to worry about being hungry for a while after partaking in these bad boys.
I made the vegan breakfast tacos with jalapeños and “hot” salsa but if you’re not as spicy of a person, you can omit the jalapeños and use mild salsa. Either way, these tacos will make a tasty breakfast!

Oh wow! I do breakfast tostadas and burritos sometimes but haven’t had tried tacos in the morning. A wrong that needs correcting ASAP!
Mary Ellen says
Haha, definitely Becky. I haven’t done tostadas for breakfast before so I’ll have to correct that wrong myself!

These look fantastic Mary Ellen. I think I’d struggle to keep them to just at breakfast time! 🙂

Kimmythevegan says
AH! You combined two of my favourite things. Tofu scramble & tacos. YAS! At first I was thinking that it would be a time consuming breakfast, but not at all. Sounds simple – perfect. And delicious… might need mushrooms haha 😉
Mary Ellen says
Yes, two of my favorite things in one too! I know, I actually usually do add mushrooms but forgot to add in the pictures so I left it out of the recipe!

I want these for my breakfast! They look awesome. I would never get round to it during the week but weekend brunch is another story. Yum!
Mary Ellen says
Yes, I usually make them for brunch on the weekend – and if it’s after 11am I feel like it’s okay to have a margarita with them!
Courtney's Cookbook says
Yay, breakfast tacos! I was going to make oatmeal today, but these are calling my name right now. 😉

Haha, somehow breakfast tacos seem more appropriate to have on a Friday – more festive to start the weekend. 🙂
