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?

I used this McCormick Mexican seasoning, but Taco Seasoning works too – just measure out the amount because some packets have more.

    I’d do either one, happily! A local trail group does the most amazing little breakfast burritos at their races. That might be the main reason I run them… 😀

    I vote breakfast tacos for dinner. They are too time consuming to make busy mornings, so they are best for dinner.

    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.

    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.

    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 :).
