How To Make Breakfast Tacos And Harissa Sour Cream

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make easy breakfast Tacos. First, you’ll wanna whip up a batch of the Harissa Lime Sour Cream.

Step One: Combine the organic, grass-fed sour cream with the green Harissa paste from Mina, lime & salt. I like to toss some cilantro on top for color too.

Expert Tips For Nailing Breakfast Tacos

• Keep Your Tortillas Warm: Wrap your warm tortillas in a towel or foil to keep them warm while you prepare the fillings.
• Balance Your Flavors: If your tacos taste too spicy, add more sour cream or a pinch of sugar to balance it out.
• Peppers: The roasted peppers can be stored in your fridge & used for anything from snacking to salads.
• Add More: I like pairing this with a lightly spiced black bean & quinoa salad for a delicious, well-rounded meal. Enjoy!

Optional Additions

• Hot Sauce: Can be drizzled over the finished tacos or mixed into the sour cream for a spicier, tangier sauce, adding a vibrant heat that complements the creamy and citrus notes of the dish.
• Caraway Seeds: Sprinkling toasted caraway seeds over the finished tacos or incorporating them into the plantain tortillas could introduce a distinctive, earthy flavor and a slight crunch, enhancing the dish’s complexity and texture.
• Tomato Paste: Adding tomato paste to the plantain tortilla mix or blending it with harissa lime sour cream can add a rich umami depth and slight tanginess, complementing the dish’s spicy and citrus elements.
• Smoked Paprika: Adds a subtle smokiness and warmth, complementing the spicy harissa and tangy lime in the sour cream. Sprinkle it over the tacos or mix it into the harissa lime sour cream for an extra layer of depth.
• Cumin Seeds: Toast and grind the cumin seeds, then mix them into the harissa lime sour cream for a deeper, aromatic profile that enhances the overall taste of the tacos.

Substitutions

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: can be used as a substitute for coconut oil in the plantain mixture for breakfast tacos. The rich flavor of olive oil will add depth to the plantains, enhancing the overall taste profile of the taco filling.
• Chili Peppers: Use chili peppers as a substitute for sweet mini peppers or add them to boost spiciness in breakfast tacos. Mix them with harissa sauce for a Mexican chiles twist.

Storage And Reheating Instructions

• Separate Components: Separate the tacos’ components if possible. Store the Harissa Lime Sour Cream separately in a tight-lid container.
• Wrap Tacos: Wrap the tortillas and fillings gently in aluminum foil or place them in an airtight container.
• Refrigerate: Put the wrapped tacos and sour cream container in the refrigerator. Consume the leftovers within 2-3 days for best taste.
• Oven Reheat: Place the tacos on a baking sheet and heat for about 10 minutes, or until warm.
• Microwave Option: For a quicker option, microwave the tacos on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, checking to ensure they are heated through.
• Stovetop Method: Alternatively, heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each side of the taco for about 30 seconds.

What To Serve With Breakfast Tacos?

• Strawberry Mojito Mocktail: A refreshing, non-alcoholic drink with a sweet and minty flavor that pairs perfectly with the spicy and savory breakfast tacos.
• Avocado Toast: Offers a creamy and healthy fat addition, balancing the spices of the tacos with its subtle flavors and smooth texture.
• Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa: Injects a sweet heat into the meal, complementing the Harissa’s spiciness with a fruity twist that enhances the overall taste experience.
