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. Usually 3-4 tacos are 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 less 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. Great for breakfast or a snack. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Favorite Questions About Street Tacos

What is a street taco?

Street Tacos are slightly different that our American Tacos in that they are made with small soft corn tortillas, instead of the larger crispy variety. They also usually double up on the tortilla as the filling of grilled or pan-fried chicken, beef, or pork tends to be wetter and can leak through the first tortilla.
