This super easy vegetarian taco filling is made with egg whites, mushrooms and spices to make it a more dinner style taco. Bonus: This meatless (Mexican) meal comes together in 10 minutes. Boom.
I usually eat egg whites for breakfast after a run. Ideally, a post-workout meal should have a good mix of protein and carbs. Each serving of AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites contains 5 grams of protein, 0 grams of fat and 25 calories.
If you workout in the evening this is a healthy dinner packed with protein from the egg whites. I made this for dinner but had the leftovers for breakfast so it works either way. But for some reason I think of breakfast tacos as being on soft tortillas – anyone else?
Spiced Mushroom and Egg White Tacos Recipe
Taco Filling Ingredients:
- 2 cups AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites
- 2 Tb. taco seasoning or Mexican seasoning
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- salt, pepper, garlic powder, hot sauce
To Build Taco:
- taco shells or tortillas
- shredded lettuce
- shredded cheese
- avocado
- sour cream
- salsa
I used this McCormick Mexican seasoning, but Taco Seasoning works too – just measure out the amount because some packets have more.
Directions: Pre-heat pan with 1 Tb. olive oil. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add chopped mushrooms. Season with garlic powder, salt & pepper. Cook till soft.
Mix 2 cups egg whites and taco seasoning in a bowl. Add to pan with onions and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook through.
Serve in taco shells and top with your favorite taco toppings. Enjoy!

I vote breakfast tacos for dinner. They are too time consuming to make busy mornings, so they are best for dinner.
That’s a great idea! Thanks!

Breakfast tacos are the best. Easy to make and easy to eat while I am driving to work in the morninf.

Def dinner tacos
I pick dinner tacos!
I have the most uncommon taste for tacos and quesadillas. For instance, fish tacos are absolutely my favorites. Also, tacos al pastor (which include pineapple) are also my favorites. Therefore, these egg tacos sound like something I would really like.
Perhaps they’ll work very good as quesadillas too. I absolutely love egg quesadillas.
Oh how I love me some TACOS! Shrooms are the BEST
Breakfast for dinner (brinner) is the best!
Dinner tacos!
Definitely dinner. I am all about sweet breakfast food in the mornings: cereal, oatmeal, toast with peanut butter, fruit, etc. I LOVE eggs but usually for lunch and dinner. 🙂 Thank you for the giveaway; most of my pans are pretty old so I would love to win.
Breakfast Tacos are the best!
For breakfast it has to be soft shells :). I never thought of mixing taco seasoning with eggs — sounds delicious! I’ll have to try it this weekend :).
