I love using mini street taco tortillas! These are so delicious!

Filled with delicious and fresh ingredients along with the best scrambled eggs ever- you will want these tasty breakfast tacos every morning!

 I’ve shared other delicious tacos recipes in the past (like my tri tip tacos, easy potato tacos, carnitas tacos etc), but I wanted to share one of the easiest taco recipes I make.

I love adding fresh pico and salsa verde to the tacos!

I usually find myself making these when I have nothing to make for dinner or want to have something extra tasty for breakfast. I mean I always have eggs and tortillas on hand – so why not!

How to make breakfast tacos:

  • If you are making any type of salsa or pico de gallo for these do that first.
  • Cook your bacon. You can bake it, or fry it!
  • Fry your tortillas: heat up a little oil in a fry pan, add a tortilla, flip after 30ish seconds and then let the new side cook until it starts to brown. I like to fold the tortilla over when it starts to harden up and fry it like that to get the classic taco shape!
  • Whisk eggs with seasoning then in a cold fry pan add butter and eggs. Turn heat to medium and continuously whisk until cooked.
  • Build your taco! Layer the taco shell with egg, salsa, bacon, and salsa!

To make the best scrambled eggs you have to whisk continuously!

If you are looking for a healthy breakfast taco recipe, I would probably use diced Canadian bacon instead of bacon, and just warm your tortillas up without frying them. Still delicious but a little lighter on the calories.

How to make the best scrambled eggs?

Whisk your eggs, salt, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisking the salt in before cooking helps break down the eggs a little making them creamy.

Add a little butter to a cold fry pan along with the whisked eggs. Heat the eggs over medium heat whisking continuously until fully cooked. 

Whisking continuously makes small curds. Melting the butter while whisking and cooking the eggs make them custardy and delicious.   

Bacon- fry or bake?

Either way is great it just depends on how much time you have and what is easiest for you! Learn how to bake bacon here!

A long time ago I used this recipe for my Hearthstone inspired Menu. Hearthstone is an online card game you can read more about here.

I turned this recipe into devilsaur egg breakfast tacos.

    We love tacos, but never had them for breakfast though. We usually make them for dinner or lunch. These look really lovely, can’t wait to make them for my family!

    That’s a way to bring a change to my breakfast. We usually eat tacos for dinner but this sounds like a good idea, I can’t see a link for the salsa verde though, it just says ‘recipe here’ in plain text. Thanks

    I see you grew up in DC. This is a good effort but not a breakfast taco. Come to San Antonio, TX to see what breakfast tacos really are, we eat them every morning.

      Actually, I grew up in CA, visited DC for a few months, but live in NM 🙂 I am pretty happy with my breakfast tacos- especially with all the green chile I typically add to them, but if I ever visit San Antonio you bet I’ll try the breakfast tacos! I love all types of tacos! What types of things do you put in your breakfast tacos? I’d love to know!
