Vegetarian Taco Breakfast Bowls with Coconut Quinoa for a delicious savory breakfast recipe!Vegetarian Taco Breakfast Bowl with Coconut Quinoa for a delicious savory breakfast recipe!

I am all about the breakfast bowls right now friends.

Well actually, I think we all know I am all about any meal that is in a bowl. Throw in a bunch of your favorite ingredients from your fridge, mix it up and you have yourself a solid meal.

These Vegetarian Taco Breakfast Bowls with Coconut Quinoa are my new absolute favorite bowl meal that I cannot get enough of. I have had it the last 3 days because it is that good.

Up until about a year ago, I was so not into eating fried eggs or anything that would allow the yolk to pour onto our food. Now, I can’t even tell you the last time I ate scrambled eggs or an omelette. Literally every time I eat eggs, I fry them up like this.

Let’s go through this entire bowl though because it is made up of the dreamiest ingredients that are oh so perfect for your next family breakfast and especially for Cinco de Mayo!

The based off this bowl is coconut quinoa, which may or may not be the only way I am eating quinoa from now on. I cooked it in coconut milk instead of water to get that creamy consistency and add more flavor. It is sooooo good like good enough to eat the quinoa by itself with no toppings good.

Then we add some black beans, sautéed greens and avocado to the bowl. Obviously every mexican-inspired dish needs SALSA! I used Garden Fresh Gourmet’s Organic Restaurant Style Salsa (medium), which J and I are now obsessed with. They make a variety of delicious salsas, dips, chips and soups. Their salsas are the #1 refrigerated salsa in America by the way. How amazing is that? You may remember their salsa from the Healthy Seven Layer Taco Dip a couple months ago. And yes, we are still obsessing! And you can make the dip with any leftover salsa from this.. if you even have any leftover 😉

This breakfast taco bowl is SO easy to whip up for a family breakfast on weekends or if you are like me, anytime of the day. Breakfast food is my absolute favorite so I will gladly eat eggs all day everyday.

Save this recipe for Cinco de Mayo, you are going to love.
