Those of you who know me are aware of the fact I’ve never been a huge fan of the traditional American breakfast.

However, these tacos are so good, that I’ll make tghem for dinner!

To me, tacos are an exercise in balancing flavors because there are so many smaller components that come together into one delicious tortilla shell.

Here are some ingredients I used today:

• Frontier Turmeric Root Ground: https://amzn.to/32uJPB8 Muir Glen,
