Why I love Breakfast Tacos?

I love breakfast tacos because they marry Mexican tradition with classic American flavors. We think that pairing bacon with avocados, tortillas, and peppers is as good as it gets, and we know you’ll agree.

Is a breakfast taco the same as a breakfast burrito?

The only difference between a breakfast taco and a breakfast burrito is the way the dish is wrapped using your tortillas! To turn this breakfast tacos recipe into one for breakfast burritos, simply double up on the recipe to make twice the fillings. Roll your fillings into a burrito, and voila! You have a breakfast burrito that will be extra filling!

How do you fold breakfast tacos?

Tacos are one of the simplest of all wrapped tortilla dishes. Unlike a burrito, there is really no trick to folding a taco. Simply place your fillings in the middle and fold the tortilla in half.

How to serve Breakfast Tacos?

The best way to serve these hot and savory breakfast tacos is with a side of something refreshing. We are partial to a side of fresh pineapple juice, guava juice, or classic orange juice! A light and tropical fruit salad (think mango, pineapple, and papaya) is also an excellent choice. If you want to take a real culinary trip, highlight the heritage of the tortilla with a Mexican Coke.

Tips:

The best breakfast tacos are made with one secret tip: a warm tortilla! You can warm up your tortillas by placing them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 350. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 15 seconds between two moist paper towels.

Variations:

The variations of breakfast tacos are endless. You can truly make this breakfast taco recipe your own with fun changes. Try cotija cheese or queso (yum!) for even more Mexican flavor. Switch up the meets or go vegetarian!

Ingredients:

• Large flour tortillas
• Link smoked sausage sliced
• Bacon crumbles
• Large eggs beaten

How To Make Breakfast Tacos:

Step 1. Add some olive oil to a skillet over medium high heat and cook the vegetables until becoming tender.

Step 2. Mix the smoked sausage into the skillet and heat until warmed through. Set aside the vegetable and sausage mixture.

Step 3. Add the eggs to the same skillet and scramble well, adding salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 4. Spray some cooking oil into the large skillet and place a large flour tortilla in it.

Step 5. On half of the tortilla, layer ⅓ of the eggs.

Then, add the sausage and vegetable mixture.

Then, add the bacon crumbles, cheese, avocado and tomato. Fold the tortilla over the top and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until the outside is lightly browned and cheese has melted.

How to store Breakfast Tacos?

Breakfast tacos should be kept in the fridge in an airtight container. It’s a good idea to store your tortillas (which can be kept at room temperature) and your fillings (which must be refrigerated) separately. That way, the fillings won’t turn the crispy tortilla into a soggy mess.

How to reheat Breakfast Tacos?

Breakfast tacos can be easily reheated in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can pop your breakfast tacos in the microwave for about a minute!

How long do Breakfast Tacos last in the fridge?

If properly stored in the refrigerator, your breakfast tacos, which include cooked eggs, will last up to 1 week (7 days) in the fridge.

Can I make ahead Breakfast Tacos?

You can make breakfast tacos ahead! Just be sure to properly store them in the fridge in a food-safe container.
