Grilled Breakfast Tacos Recipes

BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• Heat margarine over medium heat in a skillet. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot skillet until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, 1/4 cup salsa, and cumin; scramble until set, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese.
• Spoon eggs evenly into tortillas; fold and top with remaining 1/4 cup salsa.

GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts with chili powder, garlic, cinnamon, and cumin.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Cut grilled chicken into chunks or strips.
• Mix avocados, cucumber, red onion, and lime juice together in a bowl.
• Divide grilled chicken, avocado mixture, salsa, cabbage, cheese, and cilantro among warmed tortillas.

GRILLED STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Poke holes in the steak with a large knife, taking care to make the holes with the grain. Add the steak to a gallon size freezer bag.
• Add the orange juice, garlic cloves, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, cilantro, cumin, cinnamon and kosher salt into a blender. Puree until smooth then pour into the freezer bag with the steak, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour up to overnight.
• Let the steak come to room temperature before grilling, about 20 minutes. Oil grates with grapeseed oil and preheat it on high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high and grill the meat for 10 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness.
• Allow the steak to rest on a platter, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before cutting.
• Warm the tortillas over a gas flame or on the grill. Assemble the tacos with sliced avocado, chopped onion, tomatoes, cilantro, queso fresco, and a squeeze of grilled limes or sliced jalapeño if you like.

GRILLED BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Prick the chorizo links 3 or 4 times with a fork (this keeps them from bursting on the grill). Brush them all over with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Grill, flipping as needed, until charred all over and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; set aside.
• Meanwhile, thread the tomatoes onto a 10-inch skewer. (If using a wooden skewer, leave just 1/2 inch sticking out on each end so you do not have to soak it.) Put the skewered tomatoes, corn, scallions, jalapeno and limes on a rimmed baking sheet or large platter, brush the vegetables and limes liberally with 2 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place the vegetables and limes (flesh-side down) on the grill. Grill the corn, using tongs to rotate the ears occasionally so they cook evenly, until lightly charred in spots, 7 to 9 minutes. Grill the tomatoes, scallions, jalapenos and limes, rotating as needed, until deeply charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Return the vegetables and limes to the baking sheet when done cooking. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, halve the tomatoes, cut the kernels off the cobs and thinly slice the scallions and jalapenos (seed the jalapeno, if desired). Put the cut vegetables, the juice of 2 of the lime halves and the cilantro in a large bowl; stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining 2 grilled lime halves into wedges; set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, cream and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Place a large cast-iron skillet on 1 side of the grill, and pour in the remaining oil (it might seem like a lot, but you do not want the eggs to stick). Heat the oil for 1 minute, then add the egg mixture. Use a heat-resistant spatula to stir the eggs until soft curds form, 6 to 8 minutes. Gently stir in the chorizo.
• While the eggs are cooking, grill the tortillas on the other side of the grill until lightly charred on both sides and warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes total.
• To assemble the tacos, divide the egg mixture among the warm tortillas, sprinkle each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cheese and top each with a spoonful of the grilled salsa. Serve immediately with the grilled lime wedges and any remaining grilled salsa on the side.
