Make Ahead Breakfast Tacos
Report
Breakfast tacos are easy to make ahead of time to feed a crowd, for meal prep, or even to take camping! This recipe uses refried beans, eggs, bacon, and cheese, but any combination of ingredients, including vegetarian and vegan options, can be used (see recipe notes for ideas). Just assemble the tacos, wrap in foil, and warm in the oven until you're ready to serve! Bonus: you can freeze them, too.

Instructions
- Place a tortilla on a piece of foil. Layer about 1 tablespoon of the refried beans, one scrambled egg, one slice of chopped bacon, and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the tortilla (or whatever ingredients you're using).
- Roll up the taco and wrap in the foil like a burrito. Place on a baking sheet or in a casserole dish.
- Keep in warm oven (no more than 200 degrees F) until you are ready to serve- at least 20 minutes and up to two hours.
- Serve with fixings, such as salsa, avocado, guacamole, red onion, cilantro, or hot sauce.
Notes
- Corn tortillas may also be used (a great gluten-free option) - you will want to toast them or warm them up before using since they usually break apart if you use them right out of the package.
- Topping ideas - roasted veggies, cooked potatoes, fried eggs, tofu scramble, peppers and onions, queso, sausage, ham, and really anything you want are great options for this!
- Vegan breakfast taco idea - use vegan refried beans, roasted potatoes, and a vegan cheese.
- Vegetarian breakfast taco ideas - a simple egg and cheese combo is great, and vegetarian refried beans are a great add on too.
- Make ahead and refrigerate - up to 3 days in advance. Any liquidy toppings (like salsa or raw tomatoes) may cause sogginess, so I always recommend adding those things after cooking. To warm in the oven, keep wrapped in foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, then turn oven to warm if you aren't ready to serve. You can also microwave individual refrigerated tacos after taking the foil off for about one minute (give or take).
- Make ahead and freeze - wrap in foil and keep in an airtight container or bag in the freezer. Cook wrapped in foil and bake from frozen in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, then turn oven to warm if you aren't ready to serve. You can also microwave individual frozen tacos after taking the foil off for a couple of minutes (give or take - wrap in a damp paper towel for best results when microwaving from frozen).
