Every bite of these keto smash tacos is a pure delight! Savory sausage, eggs, crispy bacon, and spicy salsa verde combine to make the ultimate low-carb breakfast.
What Are Smash Tacos
A smash taco is basically a combination of a smash burger and a street taco. A smash burger is basically a hamburger patty that is smashed flat while on the grill.
This makes it extra crispy and the flavor seems to rise to the surface of the meat. So, I took the smash burger idea, and made a breakfast taco out of it.
These smash tacos are made with sausage patties instead of hamburger patties and are topped with eggs, bacon, and salsa verde. This is one of the tastiest ways to enjoy your favorite breakfast foods.
Keto Smash Tacos
There are 4 grams net carbs in each taco, making them a really easy and high-protein way to start your day. If you’re looking for something different for breakfast, and you love Mexican or Tex-Mex food, then you’ve got to try these.
The bacon egg and cheese combination is classic. But then when you top it all with salsa verde and smash it in a fried tortilla, you’ve got a memorable and delicious breakfast!
And if you’re running short on time, you can turn this into a Tex Mex breakfast bowl. Skip the tortillas and just add the sausage, bacon, eggs, cheese, and sauce to a bowl and mix it all up.
Breakfast Smash Tacos
Customize these smash tacos and make them taste just how you want them to! Use your favorite kind of ground sausage.
I used mild (because my kids prefer it) but spicy sausage would taste amazing with them. And instead of shredded cheddar cheese, use shredded pepper jack or even Monterey jack cheese.
You could even add some sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or some shredded lettuce to the tacos! And for a bit more heat, add some sliced jalapenos.
Keto Breakfast Ideas
This Tex-Mex breakfast recipe is perfect with any breakfast side side you make. If you’re going to eat it for breakfast, make some Keto Ricotta Pancakes or 90 second Keto French Toast on the side with it.
I think the breakfast smash tacos will taste incredible with a glass of keto iced bulletproof coffee too!
How To Store Cooked Eggs
This is a recipe that really tastes best when you make it fresh. It only takes about 10 minutes to fry it up, so I suggest making and eating it fresh.
If you want to store them and eat them later, keep the breakfast smash tacos in an airtight container and keep them refrigerated for up to three days. Then, reheat them in the air fryer so that they are crispy again.
