Breakfast Tacos – RidgeMonkey Recipe

breakfast tacos with local sourced produce.

6 min read

What I love about the RidgeMonkey is how effortlessly it cooks up incredible tacos! And what I love about tacos? You can fill them with locally sourced produce wherever your travels take you.

Versatile, crunchy, and absolutely oozing with flavour (and cheese)!

To add the egg element I like to “French Toast style” dip the tortilla in the egg to coat it.

This breakfast taco recipe is my go-to whenever I spot some quality local sausages at a farm shop. Breakfast immediately springs to mind—and let’s be honest, a breakfast taco never fails to deliver serious flavour and full-on morning satisfaction!
