Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Tacos
- 6 small flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage or bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your breakfast tacos evenly and to set the egg mixture properly.
- Prepare baking dish: Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent the tortillas from sticking during baking.
- Mix eggs and seasoning: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, cooked sausage or bacon, and chopped green onions into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution of all flavors.
- Assemble tacos: Place each flour tortilla into the baking dish, then fill each tortilla evenly with the egg mixture, spreading the filling to cover the base.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the filled tortillas for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs have fully set and are cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove the tacos from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling firm up and prevent burning.
Notes
- You can customize these breakfast tacos by swapping sausage or bacon with cooked chorizo, ham, or a plant-based alternative.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
- Adding diced tomatoes or avocado slices as a topping enhances freshness and flavor.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the meat and add extra vegetables like mushrooms or spinach.
- Leftover breakfast tacos can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
