Skinny Waffle Taco Recipe inspired by Taco Bell’s Waffle Tacos

Breakfast

6 Apr

Hello! Well, I had some fun last night!!

How was your Saturday?

This morning I started the day with a nice walk. When I got back I flipped on the TV and went to make coffee.

Then, I heard a commercial for the new Taco Bell Waffle Taco. Boom. I knew what I was going to make for breakfast.

I am a sucka for anything “NEW!” at restaurants or in stores. So I admit I want to try the waffle taco. taco bell time

But, I’m pretty sure my home-made version is probably just as good (or better) and a lot lower in calories and fat.

Plus – you can make it gluten free with a g-free frozen waffle! Or whole grain with a whole grain frozen waffle. #WaffleWinning

Skinny Waffle Tacos

Ingredients:

  • 2 frozen waffles
  • 1 cup egg whites (or 2 eggs)
  • 2 lean turkey sausages (plus two for eating while you cook)
  • toppings: Syrup & Sriracha or Ketchup or Hot Sauce

Toast waffles. Cook up sausage and eggs (separately). Divide 1/2 egg and 1 sausage into each waffle. Drizzle with syrup. Drown in Sriracha.

Two of these breakfast tacos add up to less than one Taco Bell Sausage Breakfast waffle taco at 362 calories! I added the extra turkey sausage to the final calorie count though…

      half a grapefruit, one slice of GF toast and two soft-boiled eggs from my friend’s chickens! 🙂
      they are so much tastier than the store bought eggs; the yolks are super rich and delicious.

      Those look great! But you forgot to add the syrup to the calorie count… As a fellow runner/eater/calorie-watcher, just wanted to point it out for accuracy.

      Scrambled eggs cooked over pan-grilled tomato slices with sprinkled sharp cheddar in it. Yum!

      DUDE! Hubby and I made our own version of the McGriddle for breakfast this morning. It was the bomb.com
      Two pancakes (I used Trader Joe’s buttermilk pancake mix which is good!)
      slightly fried egg
      1 slice of bacon
      1 slice of cheese

      Assemble like a sandwich. Poor some maple syrup, ketchup or siracha on top and enjoy.

      BTW-I call everyone dude so I hope you are not offended. It is a CA thang.

      Squish and I had some cheesy egg scramble and a sliced apple each for breakfast. But I need to pick me up some gluten-free waffles and give this a try! Seems like a great on-the-go breakfast for the weekdays.
