Spicy Breakfast Potato Tacos (Vegan)

These plant-based Spicy Breakfast Potato Tacos with avocado, jalapeño and vegan chipotle mayo are one of our new favorite homemade brunch recipes. These vegan and gluten free tacos are flavorful, satisfying and easy to make.

This recipe is brought to you by the newest member of our Crowded Kitchen team: our summer intern, Bryce! Bryce just so happens to be my younger brother. He's going into his senior year at Ashland University in Ohio and he's majoring in Marketing. (A few pics of us below!)

We've been planning to hire an intern for quite a while now, and Bryce is the perfect fit (aside from the obvious fact that he's family!). He'll be helping us out with a few things on the business side (business development, tracking analytics, website stuff) and the photography/recipe development side. It's been so fantastic to have an assistant during long photoshoot days, and he's been so great helping out in the kitchen!

These Spicy Breakfast Potato Tacos are his first recipe contribution to Crowded Kitchen. He gave us the idea (one of his favorite things to eat), and we developed the recipe together. It was so much fun, and they're absolutely delicious!

Bryce isn't vegan or gluten free, but he loves these tacos just the way they are - no meat or eggs necessary.

The spicy potatoes are the most important component of this taco. We dice and boil the potatoes first, then pan-fry them with spices until crispy and delicious. It's challenging to refrain from eating the potatoes straight from their pan - they're addictive! (Potatoes are easily one of my favorite foods, so I may be biased.)

We first toyed with the idea of adding scrambled tofu, but honestly, these are perfect with just potatoes! Of course, if you prefer to add more protein, go ahead and add in some scrambled tofu (or eggs of your choice).

Our toppings of choice include thinly sliced jalapeños, pickled red onion, avocado and spicy vegan mayo.

We'd definitely like to experiment with our own vegan mayo recipe in the future, but for the time being, we love using this store-bought version. It's probably our favorite condiment. We use it on everything! For evidence: it's in this breakfast sandwich, these veggie burgers and a dipping sauce for these sweet potato fries.

These Spicy Vegan Breakfast Potato Tacos are perfect for your next brunch at home. But if you're looking for more savory vegan breakfast/brunch recipes, here are a few favorites:
