These sweet potato bacon breakfast tacos with guacamole are a delicious weekend breakfast to wake up to! Use leftover sweet potatoes and bacon to make them even easier to prepare! (gluten-free, nut-free)
Ask a Texan what the perfect food is, and it’s highly likely they’ll tell you it’s tacos. More specifically, breakfast tacos.
As a native Texan, breakfast lover, and self-proclaimed taco connoisseur, I’d have to agree. Breakfast is obviously delicious. But then when you wrap it in a warm tortilla and add guacamole? You really can’t do much better.
One thing I love in breakfast tacos that isn’t so traditional? Roasted sweet potatoes. Sweet, crispy roasted sweet potatoes with a hint of savory bacon and fluffy eggs are such a lovely combination in a taco.
And you can’t forget the guacamole. Tacos always need guac. I’m partial to my caramelized onion guacamole, but if you’re feeling lazy, even a smash of avocado will do.
I especially love that these sweet potato bacon breakfast tacos are a great way to use up leftovers. I’m notoriously bad at estimating the correct amount of potatoes (including the sweet ones) to make for two people – as though I haven’t been cooking for Mr. Table and myself every day for going on a decade. So I tend to make too many and end up with leftovers.
No big deal. Into the tacos they go, and I’m one step closer to breakfast bliss!
If you’re not a big fan of bacon, you can use sausage, or leave it out. These breakfast tacos would be delicious with black beans, too. If you don’t have cotija, a sprinkle of feta works in a pinch, or use a different kind of cheese. Whatever you have, right?
These delicious sweet potato bacon breakfast tacos are going to be calling your name this weekend. Loud enough to get you up and out of bed for a super tasty meal!
