Ingredients

Bacon and Potatoes:

  • 8 strips bacon
  • 3 medium russet potatoes cut into small chunks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Scrambled Eggs:

  • 8 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk any kind
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 small soft flour tortillas
  • Diced tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, etc. for topping

Instructions

To Prepare Bacon and Potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • To prepare the bacon and potatoes, Place bacon strips on one pan, being careful not to overlap. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add potato chunks, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well, ensuring each potato is coated. Spread onto second prepared pan.
  • Place both pans into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating each pan halfway through cooking. Check bacon after the 13-minute mark to make sure it's not overcooked. Potatoes may need longer than 20 minutes, depending on the size, and should be tender when pierced with a fork.
  • When bacon is finished cooking, drain on paper towels and then chop into small pieces. Set aside with cooked potatoes and cover to keep warm.

Scrambled Eggs:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add egg mixture and cook until no longer runny, stirring often.

Assembly:

  • On top of a tortilla, add potatoes, eggs, bacon and cheese. Sprinkle with rest of the desired toppings. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make rest of the tacos.

Notes

  • To freeze these Easy Breakfast Tacos, wrap each cooked taco tightly in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer safe container for up to three months. When ready to serve, remove tacos from plastic wrap and heat in microwave.
