Kitchen Tools
- A Large Skillet
- A Spatula
- A Pairing Knife and Cutting Board
- Prep Bowls
- A Whisk
Ingredients
- Bacon: You can make the bacon in the skillet, oven or check out my air fried bacon for these tacos. Any cooking method will work, but I love that I can make the bacon in the air fryer while I make the potatoes and eggs in the skillet. Multitasking for the win!
- Eggs and Milk
- Potatoes: I like to use a small melody of potatoes, but you can use all red potatoes, russet potatoes or even sweet potatoes will work. Also, I prefer to leave the skin on my potatoes, but you can remove it with a peeler if you wish.
- Shredded Cheese: Pepperjack, Mexican blend, cheddar, or Cotija are all great cheese options.
- Tortilla Shells: Try to use either taco, street taco or fajita size tortillas. Anything else will be a big large for the tacos. Also, both corn and flower tortillas will work.
- Assorted Spices
- Veggies for Topping: My favorite toppers are sliced avocado, red onion, and diced tomato. You can use all of these or try out you personal favorite taco toppings.
- Additional Toppings (Optional): Along with the veggies some other things you could top your breakfast tacos with are fresh cilantro, hot sauce, chili lime seasoning, fresh lime juice, salsa or sour cream.

Pro Tips
Time Saver Tip: If you are short on time and wanting to expedite cooking you can make the potatoes and bacon ahead of time and store in the fridge. When ready to make the tacos you can make a quick scrambled eggs, warm the bacon and roasted potatoes then assemble the tacos.
Egg Tips: I love a soft scrambled egg for these tacos. It contrast the crispy potatoes and crunchy bacon perfectly. You can do a simple scrambled egg or do a sunny side up egg, pouched or even over-easy.
Meat Options: If bacon isn't your thing no problem. You can easily swap out the bacon for breakfast sausage, turkey bacon, chicken sausage, crispy tofu, or just more roasted veggies. If you use a sausage just make sure the flavor is mild or complimentary (like Chipotle) and not something that would throw the flavor off.
Common Questions
Store leftover bacon and egg tacos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For best results wrap the tacos in foil and re-heat in the oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Also, I recommend leaving the toppings off and adding them on right before you enjoy the breakfast tacos.
Yes, these tacos can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze the tacos leave the toppings off and just have the eggs, bacon, potatoes and cheese on them. Wrap the tacos in foil, then place each in a freezer bag.
When ready to enjoy them place in the oven for 20 minutes at 300 degrees F or until the taco is heated through. Once the breakfast taco is warmed top with additional toppings and enjoy.
Absolutely they are! You can easy store in the fridge then rewarm in a microwave or oven for a simple and quick lunch. Pair along side rice, beans or a Mexican salad for the perfect finish.
