These are protein packed as well as flavor packed fusion vegan breakfast tacos that can be put together easily. With traditional flavors, this fusion taco gives you the satisfying flavors that you always crave for.
These tacos are the best because…..
- These are rich in proteins

- The best part of this taco recipe is that everything can be made ahead and just assembled in the morning.
- This makes meal planning easier. Make it over the weekend and you have guaranteed protein packed breakfast ready for you and your family
How many grams of protein per taco?
Protein packed breakfast is a satiating meal carrying you forward for the day. This taco is special as it is my favorite and every component in this taco is healthy and adds to the total protein content making it the most amazing one of all. Each taco has 11 to 13.7g of proteins. contributed by quinoa, garbanzo beans, and peanuts.
Why Quinoa, garbanzo, and peanuts are great in this taco?
Quinoa gives the ultimate and complete set of nine amino acids, a cup of quinoa flour gives 7.1g of protein. Garbanzo is yet another excellent source of proteins, one 14-oz can of beans gives about 21g proteins. Peanuts are best plant based protein source and beats all other nuts. A tablespoon of peanuts gives the crunch factor as well as 2.4g proteins. These three ingredients give a great protein boost for your breakfast making your start of the day great.
The following ingredients are required to make this protein rich taco.
Quinoa flour - Protein rich quinoa makes the best base for building a taco.
Garbanzo beans - Protein rich bean that makes the taco filling
Salt - adds flavor
Onion, ginger, garlic, tomatoes - flavor enhancers
Oil - to saute as well as make quinoa flatbreads.
Vegannaise - egg-free mayo to make the sauce for the taco.
Mint and cilantro - the herbs that add aroma and flavor.
Lettuce - give the fresh crunch in every bite of this taco.
Chili flakes, turmeric, onion seeds, cumin, cayenne, garam masala - the spices add to the characteristic classic and comforting flavors.
Avocado - healthy fruit makes a great base for creamy sauce.
Peanuts - add to the crunch factor as well as proteins.
What are the flavors of this taco?
The flavors of this taco are phenomenal! The filling with scrambled garbanzo beans can be considered as refried beans but with a touch of Indian flavor. This is simple scrambled garbanzo beans with a little garam masala but in a refried bean version. The avocado Mayo with cilantro and mint is one of the best sauces to drizzle. The salt and spice can be adjusted as per taste preference.
What are the things that can be made ahead in this taco?
Everything! The quinoa flatbread, avocado mint Mayo, and the scrambled garbanzo beans can be made ahead which leaves the task of assembling it in the morning.
How many tacos can be made with this recipe?
This recipe makes 4-5 tacos in total. While rolling the quinoa into a disc, if it is cut into a perfect circle (use a kitchen utensil lid), the scraps can be used to make one more taco base. Else it would give 4 taco base. If you think the filling is a lot for you, you can decrease it, the protein content also decreases correspondingly. This quantity filling on a taco keeps you from feeling hungry for a long time. Doubling the recipe is easy and that’s what I usually do, and that is great for breakfast as well as making another meal, or breakfast for two days. Pack the filling and sauce in small containers to take for a comforting lunch that you can assemble at that time. I always love this kind of tasty lunch to take to work.
When can this taco be served?
This taco is great to be served for breakfast. It keeps the hunger at bay. It is great to take as an on the go breakfast. If you ask me, this is ideal for any meal. I love to have it for lunch, brunch, or for dinner. This is a comforting taco that would be a meal any day any time.
Is this recipe easy to make?
It is. This recipe involves multiple steps but it isn’t hard at all. Don’t let the number of steps stop you from making this taco. With some time and planning, a nutritious meal is ready
What variation can be done to the recipe?
For a variation, try to use a different bean that you have on hand. If you do have quinoa to make flatbread, use any flatbread that you might have on hand but keep in mind that the protein content of the taco would change then. This is a vegan taco and uses vegannaise to make the sauce. If a regular version is preferred, sour cream can also be used.
About the group……
This month we are sharing protein rich breakfasts in our Shhh Secretly Cooking group suggested by Renu. What’s so secret about it? The ingredients! We partner up and give two secret ingredients to each other, make a recipe and share with the rest of the group to find the secret ingredients. Kalyani gave me Vegannaise and quinoa flour as secret ingredients and this taco is my share for the event. She made this jowar idli with these two ingredients as the secret ones suggested by me. If you haven’t checked her page, here is the link for the same which has numerous classic recipes.
I am also linking this to Sundays on Silverado, What’s For Dinner, Happiness is Homemade, Crafty Creators, and Wonderful Wednesday.
Take each portion of dough, roll into a 6-7in disc dusting with more flour as necessary. Repeat with the rest of the dough portions.
