Pair with Sides: These tacos can be paired with fresh fruit, a light salad, or crispy hash browns for a complete breakfast or brunch spread.
Customize: Let everyone build their own tacos by setting out a variety of toppings like diced onions, salsa, avocado, and cooked bacon or sausage. This way, everyone can enjoy their perfect taco.
Storage Tips:
Store Scrambled Eggs: If you have leftover scrambled eggs, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of water or milk to prevent them from drying out.
Store Toppings Separately: Keep any leftover toppings (like salsa, cooked sausage, or chopped vegetables) in separate containers to maintain their freshness. These will stay fresh for 2–3 days in the fridge.
Reheat Tortillas: If you have leftover tortillas, store them in a zip-top bag or wrap them in foil. Reheat them on a dry skillet or in the microwave before serving.
Freezing: You can freeze the scrambled eggs for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
