Description

Tasty baked breakfast tacos with eggs, crispy potatoes, bacon, and melted cheese. Perfect make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings.


Ingredients

4 slices bacon

2 tbsp canola oil

4 cups potatoes cubed

2.5 tbsp taco seasoning

8 corn tortillas

8 eggs beaten

1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese


Instructions

Step 1: Bake and chop the bacon
Preheat oven to 375°F and arrange bacon on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crispy then transfer to paper towels to drain. Let cool slightly and chop into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 2:

Step 3: Cook the seasoned potatoes
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and add cubed potatoes in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a golden crust then sprinkle taco seasoning evenly and stir. Continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes stirring occasionally until tender inside and slightly crispy outside.

Step 4:

Step 5: Prepare the tortillas
Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel or heat in a skillet until soft and pliable. Arrange them in a 13×9-inch baking dish so they stand slightly open and overlap to hold the filling.

Step 6:

Step 7: Scramble the eggs
Cook beaten eggs in a skillet over medium heat stirring gently until soft curds form. Remove from heat while still slightly soft and glossy so they stay fluffy after baking.

Step 8:

Step 9: Assemble the tacos
Fill each tortilla with seasoned potatoes followed by scrambled eggs chopped bacon and shredded cheese. Keep layers balanced so tacos bake evenly.

Step 10:

Step 11: Bake and serve
Bake tacos at 375°F for about 10 minutes until cheese is melted and everything is heated through. Let cool slightly then serve warm with toppings like salsa avocado or hot sauce.
