These tasty baked breakfast tacos combine crispy bacon, seasoned potatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted Monterey Jack cheese inside warm corn tortillas. Perfect for a hearty and flavorful morning meal that’s easy to prepare and bake all together.

Ingredients

Scale

Bacon

  • 4 slices bacon

Potatoes

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

Tortillas and Filling

  • 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)
  • 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 for 10 minutes until crisp. Let cool for 5 minutes, then coarsely chop into small pieces. Baking the bacon this way ensures it is extra crispy and less greasy.
  2. Cook the Seasoned Potatoes: While bacon is baking, heat canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add cubed potatoes and stir to coat in oil. Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over potatoes and continue to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: In an ungreased 13×9-inch glass baking dish, stand the soft corn tortillas upright against each other forming taco shells. This keeps tortillas ready for easy filling and baking.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: In a separate clean skillet, cook the well-beaten eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently until the eggs just begin to set and scramble. Remove from heat while still slightly soft to ensure creamy eggs after baking.
  5. Assemble and Fill the Tacos: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the seasoned potatoes into each tortilla. Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs and chopped bacon among the tortillas. Top each taco with 1 tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Bake and Serve: Place assembled tacos in the oven and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Serve immediately while hot and the cheese is melted for the best taste.

Notes

  • Baking bacon instead of frying makes it less greasy and extra crispy.
  • Turn potatoes frequently to ensure even cooking and seasoning distribution.
  • Removing eggs from heat when slightly soft prevents overcooking after baking.
  • Serve these breakfast tacos fresh and hot for optimal flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute the corn tortillas with flour tortillas if preferred.
