4 small flour or corn tortillas

Optional Toppings:

1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled

1/4 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup diced onion

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Salsa and hot sauce, to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Eggs:

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Eggs:

Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs, stirring gently until they are softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Tacos:

Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Divide the scrambled eggs among the tortillas, sprinkle with cheese, and add your choice of toppings such as sausage, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, avocado, salsa, and hot sauce.

Serve:

Serve immediately while warm, with extra salsa or hot sauce on the side if desired.

Serving Tips:

Serve Fresh and Hot: Breakfast tacos are best enjoyed immediately after assembling. The warm scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and fresh toppings make them especially delicious.

Add Extra Toppings: Serve with extra salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, or even a sprinkle of cheese on top to elevate the flavor.

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.

Can I use different types of tortillas for this recipe?

Absolutely! While flour tortillas are commonly used, you can easily swap them for corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, or even try whole wheat tortillas for a healthier choice. The filling will still taste amazing no matter which tortilla you choose.

Can I freeze breakfast tacos?

You can freeze the scrambled eggs and toppings separately, but it’s best to freeze the eggs in an airtight container and reheat them when you’re ready to enjoy. The tortillas are best eaten fresh, but you can store them in the fridge for a few days or lightly toast them before serving.

How can I make breakfast tacos spicier?

To add some heat, you can mix in diced jalapeños with the scrambled eggs or top the tacos with spicy salsa, hot sauce, or even a sprinkle of chili flakes. Customize the spice level to suit your taste!
