Breakfast Tacos

99 cent goodness

Okay - so this is the breakfast taco I ate this morning. One of two actually. This one has potato, egg, and cheese. Sadly it is not topped with green chile (for all my peeps from the 505). It is a fake tomatillo "green" chile sauce. Anyways, this is an example of what not to do on the Whole30 plan.

The first offense is the tortilla... no grains whatsoever starting Monday. No bread, rice, or pasta. Not even quinoa or couscous! Am I going to miss these lovely complex and starchy carbohydrates? Why yes. Yes I am. Am I going to lose an arm and a leg over it? Well no... but I think I am going to really miss pasta. I don't eat it very often as it is, but I just feel so squishy and sluggish after I eat it. Moral of the story is I probably won't be having any sort of Mexican food for 30 days.

The next offense is the cheese. Dear God help me. Cheese is my one true vice. Not chocolate, not ice cream or cookies. Cheese. I say cheese even when I am not smiling for the camera. That's true love people (sorry Kev). I like all kinds of cheese too. Cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, brie, parmesan, EZ, stick, and even goat. I am going to have to say goodbye to this ooey goodness on Monday and I will definitely miss cheese the most. There are so many things that I put cheese on that are going to taste so different now. But it's all for the best. My body will be a temple after these 30 days.

I can however have the other two ingredients in this breakfast taco during my 30 days. White potatoes, or any color potatoes for that matter, have recently been approved for Whole30. I, however, am probably going to avoid them for 30 days to really get rid of the "white" stuff in my diet. After my 30 days I will more than likely incorporate them in meals because I will miss their starchy goodness. I've realized I say goodness a lot and that probably won't change in future posts. So get used to it... or i'll start thinking of more creative words to describe food. Needless to say I will not be hitting up Torchys Tacos anytime soon. Hang on one sec while I pour out some champagne for my homies - breakfast tacos.

R.I.P. breakfast tacos. You will be missed...
