Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, bell peppers, onions, cooked sausage or bacon (if using), and season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the Tacos

Place the tortillas in a baking dish and fill each one with the egg mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top of each taco.

Bake the Tacos

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious breakfast tacos!

These tacos are best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast option later.

Tips for the Best Breakfast Tacos

To achieve the perfect texture for your breakfast tacos, consider lightly toasting the corn tortillas before filling them. This step helps prevent them from becoming soggy during baking and adds an extra layer of flavor. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for just a minute on each side.

Experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite combination. While cheddar and Mexican blends work wonderfully, goat cheese or feta can add a creamy, tangy twist. Don't hesitate to mix in some spices like cumin or paprika to the egg mixture for an added depth of flavor.

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftovers, storing your breakfast tacos is simple. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

For longer storage, consider freezing the assembled tacos before baking. Wrap each taco tightly in foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to eat, you can bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Creative Variations

Don’t limit yourself to just the basic fillings! Try adding black beans, spinach, or even sweet potatoes for a nutritious twist. You can also experiment with different proteins, such as shredded chicken or tofu, to cater to various dietary preferences.

For a breakfast taco with a kick, consider incorporating ingredients like salsa verde or chipotle sauce. These additions can elevate the flavor profile and add a spicy element that many enjoy. Whatever your choice, these breakfast tacos can easily adapt to suit your cravings and celebrate seasonal ingredients.
