How to Adapt Street Tacos
- Add hash browns or cooked sweet potatoes
- Change out the refried beans for black beans or charro beans
- Opt for cotija or Oaxaca cheese instead of cheddar
- Don't like bacon? (Is that even possible?) Add grilled steak, chicken, or pork.
- Really bring it up a notch by piling on the sour cream if you're not watching your diet
Favorite Questions About Street Tacos
What is a street taco?
Are street tacos healthy?
Yes, these particular tacos are fairly low in calories. Street taco tortillas are small and are filled with just a small amount of bacon and cheese on them and finished with healthier ingredients like eggs, avocado, and beans. 3 to 4 tacos are usually sufficient and it helps to leave off that additional tortilla.
What's the best type of tortilla to have if watching calories?
Stick with a corn tortilla, which is generally smaller than their counterparts, for fewer calories, higher fiber count, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Next would be whole wheat tortillas, which contain the least fat, and finally a plain flour tortilla.

Now scarf a few of these delicious small tacos and you'll wonder why you waited so long to make them. They are filled with protein, healthy fats, and vitamins to give you a head start on the day.
I even like to prepare the ingredients ahead of time, including cooking the bacon and put them in the fridge. Then all I have to do is scramble the eggs, pile it all on the tortilla, and run out the door.
These tacos are great for breakfast or a snack, especially on National Taco Day - October 4th. Enjoy!
