Carne Asada Paleo Breakfast Tacos

These Paleo Breakfast Tacos are slightly more time-consuming than your average Paleo breakfast if you are making the Paleo tortillas, but they are definitely worth the wait!

With that said, this recipe may be best saved for a weekend or a morning when you’re not in a rush.

Dave, taking a break from work, to devour some Paleo Breakfast Tacos.

You can save some time by making the Paleo Tortillas ahead of time, or buying some paleo-friendly tortillas.

Where To Buy Paleo Tortillas

There are a couple businesses who are making clean-ingredient Paleo tortillas using whole-food ingredients and both are Austin based.

Siete Family Foods and Pinkie’s Paleotillas are the ones we’ve tried so far.

Alternatives To The Tortilla

If you want a lower-carb version, you can always use a lettuce leaf (I recommend Boston lettuce) instead of tortillas.

You can also simply skip the shell altogether and make Paleo Breakfast Taco Bowls!

Cooking Demo Prep

I made these breakfast tacos for the Paleo Porn team when I was practicing for my cooking demo at Paleo f(x) in Austin. I wanted to take the tortillas on a final test-run before presenting them on stage and I wanted to make sure they were good when made using water instead of almond or coconut milk.

Answer: water definitely works. However, do note that they come out looking and feeling a little more like crèpes rather than tacos.

Regardless, I didn’t hear any complaints! :)

Grab Your Closest Human As Your Sous Chef

It was nice to get a little help in the kitchen from Alison while making this meal for all four of us. So I would recommend inviting some friends over for brunch and enjoying the time in the kitchen cooking together if you want to lessen the load.

The onions will take a while to caramelize, but they’re definitely worth it in the end. By taking the extra time to brown them, they go from pungent to just a little bit sweet and that makes all the difference in these Paleo Breakfast Tacos!

You’ll end up with some loaded taco shells that are pretty filling, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have leftovers. These babies go fast and your friends and/or family will be fighting over the last ones.

The good news is they’ll keep you full and energized all day long.

So if you thought going Paleo would mean you could never have tacos again, or that your Paleo breakfast would always be boring, think again.

With a little creativity, you can mix and match all sorts of meats, eggs, fruits, and veggies to breath new energy into any meal!

Carne Asada Paleo Breakfast Tacos

Yield: 3-4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 8 Paleo taco Tortillas
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 bunch swiss chard, chopped
  • 2lb grass-fed flap steak
  • coarse ground sea salt, to taste
  • 6-8 large organic eggs (Use 2 eggs/person)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. If you haven't done so already, prepare the taco-sized Paleo tortillas and set aside.
  2. Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add sliced onion. Cook 7-10 minutes until they start to caramelize and add swiss chard. Stir to combine and cook until chard is wilted and onions are done. Transfer chard & onions to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Use kitchen shears or a knife to slice steak into strips. Season the meat with a sprinkle of sea salt and transfer it to the same cast-iron skillet you just emptied. Cook the meat over medium heat, turning once throughout cooking, until it reaches your desired degree of doneness. Note: If you'd like to wait until the meat is done you can use the same skillet, to save on dishes. Or while the meat is going you can pull out a new skillet to cook the eggs at the same time as the meat.
  4. Depending on the number of people you're serving, crack 2 eggs/person into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  5. If not using a cast-iron skillet, melt your choice of fat in the bottom of the pan, over medium heat, before pouring the eggs in.
  6. Use a spatula to move the eggs away from the edges of the pan. If the eggs start to brown, lower the heat to medium-low, and let eggs cook until fully cooked. Remove eggs from heat and set aside.
  7. Now that all the cooking is done, it's time to prepare your tacos. First lay a couple tortillas down on the plate. Lay a slice or two of steak down in each tortilla. Top with a scoop of sautéed chard and onion followed by a scoop of scrambled eggs and garnish each taco with a slice of avocado, a sprig of fresh cilantro and a pinch of sea salt. Once all your plates are prepared, you're ready to serve.
  8. Store leftover steak and vegetables in a glass storage container in the fridge.
  9. Enjoy! :)
