Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 slices bacon
• 2 tbsp canola oil

• 2 ½ tbsp taco seasoning mix
• 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)
• 8 eggs, well beaten
• ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz)

Helpful Tips Before You Start

Choosing and Prepping the Potatoes

Cut the potatoes into even 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly. Toss them well in oil and taco seasoning before cooking to coat every side. You can also use frozen diced potatoes to save time just adjust cooking time slightly.

Getting Perfectly Crispy Bacon

For crispier bacon, start baking it in a cold oven lined with foil. As the oven heats up, the fat renders slowly, giving you perfectly crispy strips. Once cooked, chop into small pieces for even distribution in each taco.

Tortilla Handling Tips for Best Texture

Warm your tortillas before filling to make them pliable. This helps prevent cracking while baking and keeps the edges soft but slightly crisp after heating in the oven.

Soft, Fluffy Scrambled Eggs Every Time

Scramble eggs gently over medium heat. Remove them from the pan while still slightly soft — they’ll continue cooking inside the oven. Overcooked eggs can become rubbery, so keep an eye on them.

How to Make Tasty Baked Breakfast Tacos (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Bake and Chop the Bacon

Bake bacon at 375°F for 10 minutes until crispy. Let it cool slightly, then chop into small pieces.

Step 2: Cook the Seasoned Potatoes

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add cubed potatoes and taco seasoning. Stir every 5 minutes until golden and soft, about 15–20 minutes.

Step 3: Arrange and Prepare the Tortillas

Stand tortillas upright in a 13×9-inch baking dish. Warming them beforehand makes this easier and helps keep their shape.

Step 4: Scramble the Eggs Gently

Cook the beaten eggs in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often. Remove them from the pan while still a bit soft.

Step 5: Assemble the Tacos

Fill each tortilla with about ¼ cup potatoes, a scoop of scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and 1 tbsp cheese.

Step 6: Bake Until Perfectly Melted and Heated Through

Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the tacos are hot throughout. Serve immediately.

Substitutions and Easy Customizations

Swap bacon for sausage or ham if you prefer. Any type of potato works — even frozen diced ones. Use your favorite cheese like cheddar or pepper jack. You can also replace corn tortillas with flour ones for a softer bite.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your tacos with fresh fruit, refried beans, or Mexican rice. A spoonful of pico de gallo or slices of avocado adds brightness and balance. Try them alongside oatmeal apple breakfast bake or blueberry breakfast quesadilla for a full breakfast spread.

Storage, Reheating, and Make-Ahead Instructions

Store leftover tacos in an airtight container or wrap them in foil for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave for 30–45 seconds.
If you’re planning ahead, cook the bacon and potatoes the day before. Assemble and bake fresh in the morning for best flavor.
