Step-by-step overview

Creating these delicious baked breakfast tacos is simpler than you might think. Start by cooking the bacon and potatoes until crispy and golden. While that’s happening, prepare the eggs and cheese. Once all the components are ready, you’ll layer everything into soft tortillas and bake until bubbly. The result is a dish that is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate!

What you’ll need

Gather these items before you start:

• 4 slices bacon
• 2 tbsp canola oil
• 4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 1/2 tbsp Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix (from 6.25 oz container)
• 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)
• 8 eggs, well beaten
• 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)

Feel free to mix it up with ingredients you have on hand or prefer. For instance, consider using turkey bacon for a healthier option or different types of cheese for varied flavors!

Directions to follow

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
3. In the same skillet, add canola oil and potatoes. Toss in the taco seasoning and cook until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, mix the scrambled eggs with the crispy bacon and cooked potatoes.
5. Lay out the soft tortillas and spoon the filling evenly among them. Sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
6. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
7. Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted.

Best ways to enjoy it

Serve these baked breakfast tacos warm right out of the oven for a delightful start to the day! To elevate your serving, pair them with fresh avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, or a zesty salsa. A fresh fruit salad on the side adds a nice touch of sweetness and balances the richness of the tacos perfectly.

How to store & freeze

To keep your leftovers fresh, store the breakfast tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. If you want to freeze these tacos, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the freezer for up to a month. Reheat from frozen in a preheated oven—don’t rush this step to ensure they heat evenly!

Helpful cooking tips

• For an easy and quicker option, you can prep the filling the night before and store it in the fridge. Just warm it up before filling your tortillas.
• Make sure to season the potatoes well, as they’ll provide much of the flavor base for your tacos.
• If you’re feeling inspired, sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions over the tacos after baking for an added pop of flavor and color.

Creative twists

Thinking of ways to customize your breakfast tacos? Try substituting sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a naturally sweet flavor. You could also spice things up with chorizo instead of bacon, or incorporate black beans for a meatless version that’s equally satisfying. Toppings like jalapeños, guacamole, or a splash of hot sauce can also create delicious variations!
