These mushroom breakfast tacos are a delicious way to start your day! Softly scrambled eggs meet smoky portobello mushrooms, crisp asparagus, and a herbaceous fresh pesto, all wrapped in easy-to-make flaxseed and egg tortillas. It’s a breakfast delight that’s as simple to whip up as it is satisfying to devour.
These breakfast tacos make a great make-ahead brunch recipe for weekend entertaining or weekday meal prep. There are a few elements, but all of them are simple and tasty. The soft scrambled eggs are velvety and luscious, the smoky mushrooms are earthy and savory, and the basil parsley pesto is fresh and delicious.
Then you wrap everything up in a crepe-like egg and flaxseed tortilla that’s super easy to make. These magic breakfast rollups are a game changer: they’re flexible, rollable, and stuffable. Made from just two ingredients, they retain their texture and don’t tear when you fill them with all the delicious things. They’re also not time-sensitive, so you can make them first, set them aside, and they’ll be just as great when you finish the other elements.
Ingredients notes
These mushroom tacos use only delicious ingredients. This is what you need:
- Egg tortilla wraps: Eggs and ground flax seeds.
- Pesto: Fresh basil and parsley, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and sea salt. Adding parsley to your pesto brightens things up!
- Smoky portobellos and asparagus: Olive oil, portobello mushrooms, asparagus, smoked paprika, sea salt, and radishes.
- Barely scrambled eggs: Eggs, sea salt, black pepper, and butter.
Additions
These mushroom breakfast tacos are versatile enough that they’ll work great with different additions, so it’s a good recipe to use up what is left in the fridge or to make it your own.
- Extra vegetables: Add some caramelized onion, garlic, fresh red onion slices, zucchini, red bell pepper, some avocado slices, or a sprinkle of cilantro.
- Protein: Some crispy tofu adds extra bite. If you’re not vegetarian, some crispy bacon pieces or sausage make for a delicious breakfast, too!
- Other mushrooms: You can use another variety of mushrooms, if needed. Shiitake or cremini mushrooms work, or use a few types and make a mushroom mixture.
Soft scrambled eggs
If you have a few hot tips up your sleeve, you can totally elevate your scrambled eggs so that they are velvety and dreamy! First, start with the best eggs you can find – farmer’s markets always have great quality eggs. Crack them into a large bowl and add a generous pinch of salt and cracked pepper. Whisk, whisk, whisk! Then whisk a little more until they’re frothy and lighter in color. Melt some butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat – you want to ensure the heat is gentle! Pour the eggs in, slowly scraping the bottom of the pan with a rubber spatula while they slowly cook. As soon as they’re not runny, take them off the heat right away! They will still look a bit wet, but they’ll be perfectly cooked and luscious.
What to serve with mushroom breakfast tacos
There are two directions you can take your mushroom breakfast tacos – you can either serve it with other breakfast foods, or with some Mexican sides for a late brunch!
- Breakfast: Make a light salad on the side for a boost of veggies – it’s almost like a pico de gallo in breakfast salad form! Enjoy with an orange creamsicle smoothie or with a coconut turmeric latte.
- Mexican brunch: Keep it simple and serve beside roasted sweet potatoes and black beans with lime juice and cilantro. Make some corn salsa, apple guacamole, a summer peach salsa, or Mexican rice to go on the side. Throw a little Mexican twist on a mimosa and serve up some champagne margaritas – okay, that might be a stretch from mimosa, but it works! Don’t forget to pop some hot sauce on the table.

I made these for my husband and myself. We both loved them. I made them with no exceptions. Thy are awesome. We were so surprised that the tortillas were just as described! Thank you.
Is there another way to express 1/4 T? I hope that doesn’t sound like a dumb question but I’m lost! Will definitely make this as soon as possible,
Not a dumb question at all! I reread the recipe and can see how it was confusing. I was trying to say 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds or 1 tablespoon per egg. I’ve updated the recipe so it should make more sense now!
I have never liked mushrooms,I dont know if it I who dont know how to prepare it.the recipe makes a good dinner meal.
People tend to either love mushrooms or hate them. Definitely worth trying them cooked this way!
I made the egg tortillas and they turned out great. Next time I’ll make the whole recipe. Those smokey mushrooms sound delicious.
They’re great, aren’t they?!!
I totally agree! Especially when feeding a group. Scrambled tofu and a wheat or corn tortilla would make these vegan and delicious!
