I’ve had a lot of people ask me what Egg Tacos are…
Down here in the south of Texas, Egg Tacos are just the norm.
We have taco shops on almost every corner.
Taco shops are probably as popular as Starbucks, down here.
Eggs are the main base of the egg tacos (Obviously) but there are SO MANY variations.
For my Egg Tacos this morn, I used veggies, bacon and cheese.
For the topping, I added sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and a few fresh tomatoes.
For my Trim Healthy Mama friends these tacos are an S.
I use a low carb Whole Wheat tortilla with 3 grams of carbs per tortilla.
And if you really want to dress it up you can, you can add a small crumble of Bake Blue Corn Tortilla Chips.

Love Mexican food. What tortilla do you use that is only 3 grams of carbs? I can’t find anything less than 6 grams.
I buy the Mission Low Carb (or Carb Balance) Whole Wheat Tortillas that have 3 grams of carbs each. I usually can find them at my grocery store, Wal-mart, Target, etc.
Hey Sarah! A shout out from central Virginia coming from a (homeschooling) former Texas Hill Country gal – we lived in San Marcos. I going to ask the same question Barbara did about tortillas that have only 3 grams! I’ll have to look harder :o). I also wanted to thank you, personally, for the work you put into re-inventing dishes the thm way and the work it takes you to keep them on this blog. You make thm doable for those of us who aren’t talented in creating and on a budget. I’m sure you could compile these into a cookbook and sell easily, but allowing us to share (free) is such a tremendous blessing! I believe the Lord showed me thm. And I’m sure you well know, where He guides, He provides… He provides through you! I can’t thank you enough!!!! I’m reminded of a quote, based on scripture, from Hudson Taylor – for you… “little things are little, but little things done in faithfulness are great”. Our entire family continues to be amazed at the deliciousness of your recipes – last night was the stuffed bell peppers and the caramel chocolate brownie… OMG!!!!! Tonight is the one pot rendition (because i have lots of peppers right now). Anyhow… bless you and your sweet family, bless you! Lori
San Marcos is our neighboring town!! In fact, my older girls are playing a homeschool volleyball game there tonight!! How fun!! And thank you so much for this post… it really blessed me! <3
Sarah great idea. What salsa do you use?
If I don’t make it, I get Pace sometimes or Matteo’s from Costco’s.
I’m having a hard time determining whether meals incorporating wraps or low carb breads are an S or S helper. What is the determining factor?
I’m very new to thm, just this week in fact.
If you keep to two of the Low Carb Whole Wheat ones (that are 3 grams of carbs in each tortillas) then it’s still an S! 🙂
I too am new to THM I was wondering
When using the Ezekiel bread I cut the crust off which gives me about 2×2 square 2pcs toasted w/ butter then one fried egg and 1 sausage link is this allowed for a S meal?
The THM Plan book talks about keeping whole grain wheats to an E unless you are ok with a crossover. 🙂
This comment confuses me because up above you tell Melissa if she keeps to 2 low carb tortillas (you use wheat low carb) then it will remain an S but here you tell Lori the 2pcs of Ezekiel bread in her example is an E. Is it because
the Ezekiel is whole grain and the tortillas aren’t???? Help! I am so new to THM.
It’s because of carbs.. the Ezekiel bread has more carbs and puts it into the E category!
I have loved reading your blog and making some of your recipes. I am in Schertz, so it’s fun when I find a THM guru that is close by! I know that means your ingredients and ideas will work for me since we can shop same places. I love your blog and am a loyal follower! Thank you for all the love.
If I remember right, you subtract the fiber grams from total carbohydrate to get the net carbs per tortilla. Is that right?
Yes!
Just recently came across your site….these tacos are delicious!! Thank you!
