Vegan Potato & Egg Breakfast Tacos
The perfect savory breakfast – these Vegan Potato & Egg Breakfast Tacos have veggies, soyrizo, scrambled vegan eggs and plenty of toppings!
I love a good taco!!! And why limit yourself to only having tacos for lunch or dinner when you can have them for breakfast too? These tacos are layered with flavor and you have SO MANY options when it comes to the toppings. Spice these up or keep them mild – they are tasty no matter what.
How to make the potatoes
The real trick to these potatoes is to cut them into teeny tiny cubes! I’m talking about 1/4″ small cubes. Any bigger and they won’t cook quickly in the skillet. So be sure to pay extra attention when dicing them.
In addition to the potatoes you are going to cook down some other veggies, spices AND soyrizo. Soyrizo is one of my favorite vegan “meat” substitutes. It is seasoned well and cooks up quickly. Plus it lends itself to breakfast!
Once the potatoes have cooked through and everything is a little bit browned, you can transfer everything to a bowl and cover to keep warm while you scramble the “eggs”.
What are vegan eggs?
I have used vegan eggs in a few recipes – Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole, Fried Rice, Breakfast Bagels. My go-to brand for vegan eggs is Just. You can use their store locator to find out where they are sold near you. These vegan eggs are made from mung beans and it is crazy how well they scramble and look like the real deal.
You can also use a different brand if you have one that you like OR you could swap it out for tofu scramble.
How to serve Vegan Potato & Egg Breakfast Tacos
Once you have the base components ready, it is time to talk about toppings. As with all tacos, the toppings are one of the most important parts. Here are some options:
- avocado or guacamole
- purple cabbage
- lime wedges
- salsa
- jalapeño cilantro sauce
- cilantro
- hot sauce
- green onion
- jalapeño slices
Grab your favorites and load up your tacos! You can also lay out the toppings and have a taco bar where everyone can build their own.

I love your recipes and the extra information you provide with respect to each one, however, I note that you prefer Just Eggs. Did you know that Just Eggs (as well as Impossible Meat) tests on animals? A cruelty free, vegan option would be Earth Island, among many others.
