Description

Start your day with a crispy, flavorful breakfast taco! This easy-to-make taco features a crunchy shell filled with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and fresh toppings. Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, it’s a delicious and satisfying way to fuel up in the morning.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 small flour tortillas
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Sour cream (optional, for topping)
  • Hot sauce (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Warm the flour tortillas in the pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are slightly crispy but still pliable. Set them aside.
  2. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the tacos by placing scrambled eggs in each tortilla shell, followed by crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
  4. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.
  5. Serve immediately while the tacos are still warm and crispy.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can crisp the tortillas even more by frying them in a little oil until golden brown before adding the filling.
  • Feel free to substitute the bacon with sausage or vegetarian options like avocado and black beans.
  • These tacos can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
