Breakfast Tacos
Description
Breakfast Tacos bring together eggs, vegetables, cheese, and bacon within warm tortillas for a portable morning meal. The eggs are whisked with milk and cooked with diced red bell pepper and the white parts of green onions to add mild sweetness and a bit of bite. Sharp cheddar cheese melts over the eggs, lending a creamy texture and tangy flavor. Crisped bacon crumbles provide a salty contrast and a satisfying crunch. The tacos are served immediately, allowing the cheese to stay warm and gooey. Optional sour cream and salsa add layers of creaminess and spice.
The textures range from tender scrambled eggs to crisp bacon and softened vegetables. The warm tortillas cradle these fillings, making the dish easy to eat on the go. Butter is used to cook the vegetables and eggs, enhancing the flavor subtly without overpowering the dish.
Preparing the tacos ahead is feasible by assembling them using flour tortillas, then refrigerating or freezing. Reheating in the microwave after thawing keeps them convenient for quick meals. These tacos work well for a hearty breakfast or brunch, especially on busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 8 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon butter salted
- ¼ cup red bell pepper finely diced
- 2 green onions sliced, whites and greens divided
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded sharp
- 6 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 8 small corn tortillas or flour tortillas, warmed
- ¼ cup sour cream optional
- ¼ cup salsa optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat tortillas according to package directions. Wrap in foil to keep warm.
- In a medium non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the whites of the green onions and the bell peppers. Cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until set but still shiny.
- Divide eggs over tortillas. Sprinkle cheese over top and cover for 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt (or broil in the oven for 1 minute if desired).
- Top with the tops of the green onions and your favorite toppings like crumbled bacon.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can prepare and wrap these tacos individually in foil and refrigerate for up to 4 days for quick reheating.
- For freezing, wrap tacos in foil, place in a freezer bag, and thaw overnight before reheating in the microwave covered with a paper towel.
- Microwaves vary; reheat times of 1 ½ to 2 minutes are typical to ensure they are heated through without drying out.
