Breakfast Taco Bento

aco,
Breakfast Taco Bento, originally uploaded by sherimiya ♥.
Today's bento arose from an idea amongst some twitter pals to have a virtual taco party; a #TwitterTacoParty. The idea was for everyone to come up with a taco meal with their own unique twist, then post and share it. Fun, right? There were lots of interesting and tasty-looking tacos floating around the twitterverse tonight, let me tell ya! I chose to make a breakfast taco, since who doesn't like breakfast for lunch? I used a whole wheat tortilla and stuffed with shredded cabbage, crispy soyrizo, fried egg, grated sharp cheddar, diced onion and tomato, sliced avocado and cilantro. I folded the large size round into a pocket and then folded down the top so that hopefully my boy can hold and eat with minimal spillage. I filled in the rest of the space with a rainbow of late summer tomatoes, and decorated the tortilla with some gingko leaves to add a touch of Fall. He also gets steamed broccoli and purple cauliflower, a star-cut radish, some watermelon wedges, a strawberry and red grapes.
Thanks to my twitter pals for giving me a bento idea along with a fun dinner "party"! If you want to follow along, come and join us. The more the merrier. Party on!

  2. Hi Lia! You'll have to join us next time. We'll do it every month!
    I just got the purple cauliflower this weekend at the market. Now need to use different foods for purple since plums are no more.

    megan, he ate the raw cheese! I'm surprised, but I hope this means I can start using it now. So convenient for charaben!
    Mrs. P, Doc Rock is right. The purple cauliflower is real. Cool, right?

  9. The contents of your taco is like hidden gem. It's as beautiful as the exterior of your entire bento with all the colour. I am also so envious that your little one eats so many varied vegetables.

  10. Thanks Xelia. That's so sweet! My boy is much more amenable to vegetables than my girl; don't be too envious :)
