Delicious and easy-to-make baked breakfast tacos featuring crispy bacon, seasoned potatoes, scrambled eggs, and melted Monterey Jack cheese, perfect for a hearty morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Bacon

  • 4 slices bacon

Seasoned Potatoes

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix

Tortillas

  • 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)

Eggs

  • 8 eggs, well beaten

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)

Instructions

  1. Bake and Chop the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the bacon slices on an ungreased cookie sheet with sides. Bake the bacon for 10 minutes until crisp. Let the bacon cool for about 5 minutes, then coarsely chop it into small pieces. Baking bacon this way makes it extra crispy and less greasy.
  2. Cook the Seasoned Potatoes: While the bacon is baking, heat canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and stir well to coat them with oil. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the potatoes and stir again. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until potatoes are soft when pierced with a knife.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: In an ungreased 13×9-inch glass baking dish, stand the soft corn tortillas against each other to form open taco shells. This keeps them ready for easy filling and baking.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: In a clean skillet, cook the well-beaten eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently until they begin to scramble and are just set. Remove from heat while still slightly soft for creamy eggs, as they will finish cooking during baking.
  5. Assemble and Fill the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the seasoned potatoes. Divide the scrambled eggs and chopped bacon evenly among the tortillas. Top each taco with 1 tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Bake and Serve: Place the assembled tacos in the oven and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Serve immediately while hot and cheese is melted. Enjoy your tasty baked breakfast tacos!

Notes

  • Baking bacon instead of frying reduces grease and keeps it crispy.
  • Using soft corn tortillas will help them hold the filling better when baked.
  • Remove eggs from heat while still slightly soft to avoid overcooking during baking.
  • Feel free to customize with salsa, avocado, or hot sauce as desired.
  • Make sure potatoes are tender before assembling to ensure a pleasant texture.
