Tacos for for breakfast?
After whipping up a batch of these apple pie breakfast tacos from Lauren Harris-Pincus, founder of NutritionStarringYOU.com and author of The Everything Easy Pre-Diabetes Cookbook, we’re pleased to announce that they're worth a try.
"Everyone loves a hearty savory taco for dinner, why not switch things up and enjoy a light and sweet version for breakfast? Apples and cinnamon are an aromatic perfect pairing for fall and these Apple Pie Breakfast Tacos are a sweet, creamy, crunchy, salty and gluten-free treat," says Harris-Pincus.

THESE ARE THE BEST IMMUNE-BOOSTING FOODS, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS
The registered dietitian recommends serving one for a snack, or two for breakfast for about 300 calories and 15 grams of protein with no added sugar.
If you like to meal prep your breakfasts, Harris-Pincus suggests cooking up a batch of the apples in advance, whipping the cottage cheese and keeping both in separate containers in the fridge to simply add to the taco shells in the morning.
