What Are Breakfast Tacos?
Breakfast tacos are a quick and easy meal made with eggs, protein like bacon or sausage, and toppings wrapped in a tortilla. They can be customized in endless ways.
Ingredients You’ll Need
This breakfast recipe has a couple breakfast stars…bacon and eggs…and a few other simple ingredients. Here is everything you’ll need:
- Colby Jack Cheese or Chihuahua Cheese: Melts beautifully and adds a creamy, slightly sharp flavor.
- Corn Tortillas: Soft, slightly chewy, and perfect for holding all the fillings.
- Eggs: Fluffy scrambled eggs are the hearty base of these tacos.
- Bacon: Crispy, salty goodness that adds tons of flavor.
- Avocado: Creamy and cool, it balances the warm ingredients perfectly.
- Salsa: Adds brightness, acidity, and a little kick.
- Aleppo Pepper: Mild heat with a hint of sweetness. So good!!

How to Make Breakfast Tacos
With school starting back up in a couple weeks, breakfast needs to be ready fast and these quick breakfast tacos are my go-to for a healthy satisfying breakfast. Here’s how to make them:
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the corn tortillas in a skillet until soft and lightly toasted.
- Melt the cheese: Sprinkle cheese directly onto the hot pan, then place a tortilla on top. Let the cheese melt and crisp slightly.
- Add the fillings: Fill each tortilla with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and sliced avocado.
- Finish and serve: Top with salsa, a pinch of Aleppo pepper, and flaked sea salt. Serve immediately.
Substitutions and Variations
Protein: Swap bacon for sausage or chorizo
Veggies: Add sautéed peppers and onions
Tortilla: Use flour tortillas if preferred
Potatoes: Bulk up the filling with hashbrowns
Heat: Add hot sauce for extra heat
How to Make Breakfast Tacos Ahead of Time
- Cook bacon and eggs in advance
- Store separately in the fridge
- Reheat and assemble when ready
Storing and Reheating
Once the tacos have been assembled, they don’t store very well. The taco components are best stored separately and assembled right before serving. Leftover eggs and bacon will keep for up to 3-4 days. They can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
These easy breakfast tacos with eggs are quick, packed with flavor, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re feeding a hungry family in the morning or throwing together a last-minute dinner, they always hit the spot!
