Ingredient Notes

Here is everything you'll need to make breakfast tacos:

• 6 inch 100% corn masa tortillas—the kind found in the refrigerated section, not the bread section.
• Large eggs
• Seasoning—salt, pepper, garlic powder, sometimes I add little bit of chili flakes or cayenne. Add what you like!
• Avocado—or use guacamole
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Salsa
• Pickled red onions—These are super easy to make, and they only need to sit for around 30 minutes.
• Crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese if you can find it.
• Hot sauce—Tabasco, Frank's, or any Mexican style hot sauce will do.
• Garnishes: jalapeño slices, cilantro, lime wedge, sour cream.

Substitutions

Use spices that you enjoy in your eggs—onion powder, cayenne, cumin, etc.
You could also cook the fried eggs instead of scrambled for a runnier yolk.

You can add just about anything to these breakfast egg tacos. Here are more suggestions:
black beans, crispy bacon, breakfast sausage, barbacoa beef, guacamole, pico de gallo, green chile, breakfast potatoes, chopped bell peppers, charred corn, sour cream

Can I make this dairy free? Of course, simply omit any cheese.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Be sure to read the recipe card below for the full ingredient list and instructions.

(1) Place a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and allow to warm for 5 minutes. Place a corn tortilla inside and cook for 2 minutes until the underside has some char marks. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. If it's not browning, raise the heat slightly. Repeat with all tortillas then remove the skillet from the heat to allow it to cool slightly.

(2) In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and seasoning.

(3) With the same pan, add a spray of oil or a small pad of butter. Add the whisked eggs and scramble eggs until fully cooked.

Assemble the tacos in the tortillas.

(4) Spread the smashed avocado right on the warm tortillas.

(5) Then top with the scrambled egg mixture, cheddar, salsa, onions, ripped cilantro, and crumbled feta.

(6) Drizzle with hot sauce and fresh lime juice. Enjoy immediately!

What to Eat with Breakfast Tacos

Storage

Consume breakfast tacos immediately. They will not store well.

For a Crowd

Scale up depending on how many people you're feeding. 1 egg per tortilla and 2-3 tortillas per person is a good estimate.

Expert Tips

Here are some of my top tips and tricks for successful breakfast tacos recipe:

• Cook the tortillas on medium-high heat for the nice char marks. But ensure to let the pan cool slightly before cooking the eggs, as they will burn.
• For more protein and less fat, use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
• Prepare elements in advance such as chopping onions, shredding cheddar, and crumbling feta.
• Use what you have on hand for toppings.
• For a large group, cook tortillas on a griddle, and scramble several eggs at a time. Set up a buffet so everyone can select their own toppings.
• As a rule of thumb, serve 1 egg per tortilla and 2-3 tortillas per person.
