Allergens: Gluten Free, Soy Free, Tree Nut Free, Peanut Free, Fish Free, Shellfish Free - Can be Dairy Free & Egg Free
Let me start out by saying my family loves tacos. We eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I kind of think we may be obsessed with tacos, but I’m not admitting to anything quite yet. The nice thing about this recipe is I made two different versions. One if gluten free and egg free and the other is just gluten free. Both can be made without dairy if you eliminate the cheese that is sprinkled on top. Either way, they are delicious and filling and a great way to start off your busy day.
I’m going to first tell you about this amazing bacon pan. I don’t know about you, but cooking bacon on the stove is dangerous and messy. I always seem to get splattered with hot bacon grease and then I feel like I have to totally deep clean the entire kitchen to get the grease off. Not for me. So, I found this oven crisp baking tray that is amazing to cook the bacon in the oven. The top is like a cooling rack so all the grease falls to the bottom of the pan. The pan is deep enough to hold the grease in so when you take it out of the oven it doesn’t get all over you.
Now let’s talk about the recipe. I start off by baking the bacon in the oven at 425◦F for about 20 minutes. We like are bacon really crispy as you can see. While the bacon is cooking, I cook my sausage links according to the package directions. I used turkey sausage, but you can use whatever you like. Once the bacon and sausage links have cooled, I dice them up into bite size pieces.
Yummy, crispy bacon, and all the grease is at the bottom of the pan and I have no battle scars from cooking it.
I then dice up ½ a yellow onion, or you can use a small yellow onion. I only had a huge onion so I used half of that and diced up half a red pepper and put it aside. I then lay out all my ingredients that I’m going to use to make sure I have it all. And let me tell you really quick about the taco holder stands to the right. Assembling tacos has become so much easier since I found these little cuties.
Once I’ve laid out all my ingredients, I then start to sauté my onions and peppers in a little olive oil. I have a confession to make. I cheated a bit this time because I had some leftover roasted potatoes that I added to the peppers and onions once they had cooked for a bit. The peppers and onions should sauté for about 5 minutes or until somewhat softer and the onions have a little color. They should look like this.
Then I add the potatoes just to warm thru. I then make the scrambled eggs. Now if you have an egg allergy you would forgo this part. I take four eggs and a tablespoon of water and whisk together with a little S&P and a squirt of Sriracha. We like our spice. Cook them till they are light and fluffy.
Now it’s time to assemble this deliciousness. I have a few extra condiments because we like things a bit spicy. But feel free to add whatever you like.
I started with warming the gluten free corn tortillas then placing two of them in the taco stand holders. I had on hand the really thin corn tortillas that’s why I used two.
For the gluten free, egg free version, I added the potatoes, then bacon and a little cheese to the corn tortillas. You can omit cheese if dairy allergy or use your favorite non-dairy cheese.
For the gluten free version, I added the potatoes, egg, then sausage and a little cheese to the corn tortillas. You can omit cheese if dairy allergy or use your favorite non-dairy cheese.
Rachael decided she was going to have one of each and top it with jalapenos and salsa.
Some other toppings that would be good are black olives, scallions or maybe some fresh tomatoes. Use whatever your favorite taco toppings are, be creative or be crazy with it. Needless to say, there wasn’t one taco left. Hope you enjoy!
