These Chicken Bacon Avocado Breakfast Tacos are an easy way to transform leftover chicken from dinner into a healthy new morning meal!
Hi Friends!
It’s been a few months but I’m getting back into the swing of things with the monthly Recipe Redux prompt! This month the theme was tacos. Since we’ve been loving chicken lately and I’m always looking for ways to transform the leftovers, I whipped up some breakfast tacos!
I know, tacos for breakfast? What?! But trust me on this one. They’re simple to make and fun to eat. To up the fun factor, I actually made mine mini tacos…because I’m strangely obsessed with eating miniature versions of foods. Feels like I get to eat more even though it’s the same amount of food.
To make these, I also made some homemade tortillas. I used my favorite Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas recipe and Squish and I whipped up a batch. So easy and it was fun to make them mini-sized!
I used leftover pulled chicken for these but you could also cook some up fresh or use some pre-cooked chicken sausage if you’d like! Top them with salsa, hot sauce, cheese or all of the above! If you don’t mind reheating eggs, you could even make this filling ahead of time and then just spoon into taco shells and pop them in the microwave when you’re ready to eat them!
Here’s the recipe:

I was so close to making breakfast tacos for this challenge, but ended up with salmon tacos! Now I can these breakfast tacos for breakfast, and mine for lunch and dinner! Tacos all day long!
Yum! I don’t make them often, but when I do I love breakfast tacos! This combination looks delicious!
Ooh, delicious! This is one of my favorite combos…in fact, it’s really similar to one of my very favorite breakfast tacos that I get here in Austin from Tacodeli – the Jess Special! The avocado totally makes it!!
