Breakfast Tacos with Sweet Potatoes, Sausage, Spinach, and Lime Crema make an ideal first meal of the day. They’re filling and flavorful, and the drizzle of crema takes these tacos over the top!
There’s nothing like attending a food festival to inspire you. Recently, I attended the Arizona Taco Festival: imagine a giant field filled with rows of taco booths and other goodies!

Once I had my fill of festival food, I had to come up with another tasty taco recipe of my own, right? I came up with Breakfast Tacos with Sweet Potatoes, Sausage, Spinach, and Lime Crema. What a great way to start the day!
The sweet potatoes and sausage in these tacos are a great combo: I love the sweet-and-savory flavors! The green spinach is a nice touch, too.
If you’re a taco lover like I am, try a few of my other taco recipes, like Pork Carnitas Tacos with Roasted Butternut Squash Puree or these Grilled Corn, Peppers & Black Bean Tacos with Creamy Poblano Sauce. I never wait for a Taco Tuesday to enjoy them – they’re so easy to make, any day of the week!
At the taco event, I met up with the folks from Shamrock Farms Milk. Milk at a taco festival? Yes! There’s nothing better than ice-cold milk to help extinguish the heat from spicy salsa. No joke – milk really does do the trick!
I tried all sorts of spicy salsas and sauce at the Holy Hot Sauce Tent at the taco festival and cooled things down with Shamrock Farms milk. It really did “extinguish the anguish!”
I love using local ingredients and products when I make meals, and for this recipe, I was fortunate to be able to use Shamrock Farms milk and sour cream. Here in Phoenix, Shamrock Farms milk is locally sourced from its own family farm.

Breakfast Tacos with Sweet Potatoes, Sausage, Spinach, and Lime Crema
For my Breakfast Tacos with Sweet Potatoes, Sausage, Spinach, and Lime Crema, I added a touch of milk to my eggs before scrambling them. One of my favorite things about these tacos is the lime crema drizzled all over them! It’s so easy to put together: just sour cream, garlic powder (optional), and a touch of lime juice. So yummy!
Milk really does go with tacos! Whether you’re eating them on the spicy side and you need something to tame the heat, or you’re adding some milk to the eggs in Breakfast Tacos with Sweet Potatoes, Sausage, Spinach, and Lime Crema, milk’s got you covered!
You’ve gotta give my breakfast tacos a try! You can enjoy them for any meal of the day!
