Give your usual scrambled eggs a fun twist with these hearty, flavor‑packed breakfast tacos! Perfect for a busy morning or a relaxing weekend brunch.

Why You’ll Love Them

If your morning routine is feeling a little too routine, these Texas‑style breakfast tacos will switch things up. Soft, warm flour tortillas filled with fluffy eggs, crisp bacon crumbles, melty cheese, creamy avocado slices and your favorite taco toppings. In short: breakfast staples rolled into one delightfully satisfying taco.

And though it may seem like “taco for breakfast” is too much effort, it’s surprisingly quick and easy to pull together.

What You’ll Need (and Why)

Here are the ingredients we’ve used — but feel free to customize:

• Tortillas: Soft flour tortillas (about 6 inches) work great here. Corn or hard‑shell versions can also be used if you prefer.
• Eggs: The base of the taco filling—scrambled until fluffy.
• Bacon: Adds savory crunch and classic breakfast flavor.
• Cheddar Cheese: Melts nicely over the hot eggs. Freshly shredded is best, though pre‑shredded is okay in a pinch.
• Salsa: Choose red, green, or both—adds brightness and heat.
• Avocado: Creamy slices or mashed guacamole style—either way, it adds richness and balances the other flavors.
• Cherry Tomatoes: For freshness, color, and a little pop.
• Green Onions & Cilantro: Optional, but they bring herbal brightness and contrast the richness of the other ingredients.

How to Make Them

1. Warm the Tortillas

You’ve got several options:

• Over an open flame: Place tortilla directly over a low burner until you see soft charred spots.
• Skillet on stovetop: Preheat skillet over medium heat; heat each tortilla 20‑30 seconds each side until warm and flexible.
• Microwave: Stack tortillas, cover with a damp paper towel, microwave ~20 seconds then add in 10‑second bursts if needed.
• Oven (for multiple at once): Wrap stacks in foil, heat at 300°F (~150°C) for ~15 minutes.

2. Cook the Bacon

Preheat oven to 250°F (~120°C). Spread bacon strips on a parchment‑lined baking sheet. Bake ~15 minutes or until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble.

3. Scramble the Eggs

In a buttered skillet over medium heat, whisk your eggs then cook on low heat, stirring slowly in a circular motion until they’re soft, fluffy and fully cooked. The “low and slow” method helps get creamy scrambled eggs.

4. Assemble the Tacos

• Place a warmed tortilla on a plate.
• Layer: scrambled eggs → crumbled bacon → cheddar cheese → salsa → avocado slices → cherry tomatoes → green onions & cilantro.
• Serve immediately while hot and fresh.

Tips & Variations

• What tortillas should you use? Flour tortillas are easiest for this style, but quality corn tortillas work too (just double one if thin).
• Heating tips: Use one of the methods above to get warm, flexible tortillas — this helps prevent cracking when you fold.
• Customizing your tacos:
  • Meatier: Add ground beef, chorizo, or pork carnitas.
  • Vegetarian/Vegan: Skip the bacon and eggs; use tofu scramble, refried beans, roasted veggies.
  • Hearty sides: Serve with roasted sweet potatoes, hash browns, or tater tots.
• Topping ideas: Must‑have salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, extra cheese.
• Make‑ahead & storage:
  • Store individual taco components (eggs, bacon, warmed tortillas) in covered containers in fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To make ahead, roll up the filling into tortillas (like a burrito), wrap tightly in foil, and refrigerate (up to 5 days) or freeze (wrapped in foil + plastic wrap). Reheat: microwave 1‑2 min (refrigerated) or 4‑6 min (frozen) or bake ~8‑12 min at 350°F (~175°C).
