Bean tacos
Savory bean tacos delight
If you're looking for a hearty, but meddle-free option, you can't go wrong with bean tacos. A staple of Mexican street breakfasts, these tacos are usually made with corn tortillas and stuffed with delicious refried beans. They're often garnished with fresh salsa, cilantro, and slices of avocado. The combination of creamy beans and zesty toppings ensures a fulfilling and healthy meal with protein and fiber.
Guacamole toasts
Fresh guacamole toasts
Guacamole toasts perfectly blend the creaminess of avocados and crunchiness of toasted bread. Usually garnished with diced tomatoes, onions, lime juice, and cilantro, this makes for a refreshing breakfast dish. Using minimal ingredients allows you to enjoy the natural flavors and healthy fats of avocados. It is an easily found street food option for those seeking something light yet delicious.
Chilaquiles verde
Traditional chilaquiles verde
Chilaquiles verde is another popular pick among Mexican street breakfasts. Tortilla chips are simmered in green salsa until slightly soft and topped with cheese and cream (a sort of sour cream). Often garnished with onions or radishes for added crunchiness, chilaquiles verde brings bold flavors through its tangy sauce and crispy tortillas.
Conchas pastries
Sweet conchas pastry treats
Conchas pastries provide a sweet option for breakfast lovers looking for something other than savory on their morning menu exploration across Mexico's streetscape scene. These soft bread rolls have sugar-crusted tops that look like seashell patterns—hence the name concha, which means "shell". They are available in colors such as pink or yellow from flavored toppings such as vanilla extract folded into dough before baking begins.
