  • Choose fresh pico de gallo for the best flavor.

  • Substitute tempeh bacon for the regular bacon - This substitution would provide a plant-based alternative that is healthier and still provides a smoky flavor.
  • Substitute whole wheat tortillas for the corn tortillas - This substitution would provide a more nutrient-dense option that is still light and flavorful.
