Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 6-8 flour tortillas or corn tortillas
  • - 4-8 eggs
  • - ½ pound bacon 1 pound breakfast sausage, or chorizo
  • - Black beans optional
  • - Refried beans optional
  • - Salsa
  • - Avocado
  • - Cheese shredded Mexican blend, cheddar, or Longhorn cheddar
  • - Salt
  • - Black pepper
  • - Cayenne pepper optional

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • Begin by cooking the meat of your choice. If using bacon, fry it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and crumble. For sausage or chorizo, cook in the skillet, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired. Heat a small amount of butter or oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, and pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your liking.
  • While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they're soft and pliable. This will make it easier to fill them without tearing.
  • Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of scrambled eggs onto each warmed tortilla. Add the cooked meat on top, and then layer with your choice of additional fillings such as black beans, refried beans, salsa, avocado, and cheese. Remember that using soft tortillas is recommended for breakfast tacos to enhance the overall experience.
  • Serve the breakfast tacos warm, allowing everyone to customize their own with extra toppings like green onions, cilantro, or hot sauce for added flavor.
  • Extra Tips:
  • When cooking breakfast tacos, remember that the key is flexibility. Feel free to mix and match ingredients based on what you have available or your dietary preferences.
  • You can also speed up the preparation by using canned beans or store-bought roasted potatoes. Don't hesitate to adjust the spice levels to suit your taste, and consider making a larger batch for meal prep, as these tacos can be easily reheated for a quick breakfast throughout the week.
