Deliciously crispy baked breakfast tacos featuring seasoned potatoes, scrambled eggs, and bacon, all topped with melted Monterey Jack cheese. Perfect for a hearty morning meal that’s easy to prepare and full of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Bacon

  • 4 slices bacon

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix (from 6.25 oz container)

Tortillas

  • 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)

Eggs and Cheese

  • 8 eggs, well beaten
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)

Instructions

  1. Bake and Chop the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the bacon slices on an ungreased cookie sheet with sides. Bake the bacon for 10 minutes until crisp. Let the bacon cool for about 5 minutes, then coarsely chop into small pieces for later use.
  2. Cook the Seasoned Potatoes: While the bacon is baking, heat canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add cubed potatoes and stir to coat with oil. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the potatoes and stir to distribute evenly. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until potatoes are soft when pierced.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: In an ungreased 13×9-inch glass baking dish, arrange the soft corn tortillas standing against each other to form open taco shells, keeping them ready for filling and baking.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: In a clean skillet, cook the well-beaten eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently until just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking, as eggs will continue to firm up during baking.
  5. Assemble and Fill the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of seasoned potatoes. Evenly divide scrambled eggs and chopped bacon among the tortillas. Top each taco with 1 tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Bake and Serve: Place the assembled tacos in the oven at 375°F and bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and tacos are heated through. Serve immediately and enjoy while hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispy bacon, baking in the oven is preferred over frying.
  • Use a fork to test potato tenderness to ensure they are fully cooked before assembling.
  • Keep the eggs slightly soft when removing from pan to achieve creamy scrambled eggs after baking.
  • Soft corn tortillas work best for shaping and baking; avoid flour tortillas to maintain traditional texture.
  • Customize with toppings like salsa, avocado, or sour cream if desired.
