Breakfast Tacos (with blue corn tortillas)

I am super inspired by colourful meals and this taco variation is no exception to that. I used blue corn tortillas, which are higher in protein content and lower on the glycemic index (which means they just won't make your blood sugar levels drop.)

I love eggs as my breakfast choice of protein and as scrambled as they come in my frying pan. I sprinkle chili powder and paprika to add some extra zesty flavouring. Top with shredded carrots, diced tomatoes, half a monster kale leaf and shredded basil leaves.

Minced turkey is rather inexpensive and accessible at your local grocery store by the pound. 

I mix in minced onions, garlic, worcestershire, hoisin sauce, cilantro, chopped button mushrooms, minced ginger, flax seed, and an egg to bind all ingredients together. 

The mango slaw can be assembled with diced mango pieces, cilantro, cucumber, shallots, shredded purple cabbage, and diced tomatoes.

Serve with sliced avocado, rye bread, grainy Dijon mustard, and more cabbage and cucumber pieces.
