On some mornings, I like to have breakfast tacos. In order to make it more nutrient dense I can use; sub flour to corn tortillas, two scramble eggs, fresh pico de gallo,sliced avocado instead of guacamole,sub cotija cheese for reduced-fat mozzarella & add fresh cilantro! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
