These Breakfast Tacos are a quick, hearty, and family-friendly morning meal made with crispy bacon, taco-seasoned potatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melty Monterey Jack cheese—all baked together so the tortillas warm up and the filling stays perfectly hot. They’re filling, flavorful, and great for weekend brunch or busy mornings.
4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 1/2 tablespoons Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix (from 6.25 oz container)
8 soft corn tortillas (6-inch)
8 eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange bacon slices on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until crispy.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then chop into small pieces.
✅ Tip: Baking bacon makes it crispier and less greasy than pan-frying.
Heat canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
Add cubed potatoes and stir to coat.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over potatoes and stir again.
Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until tender.
✅ Tip: If potatoes brown too fast, lower heat slightly and add 1–2 tablespoons water, then cover for a few minutes to soften.
Place tortillas in an ungreased 13×9-inch glass baking dish.
Stand them upright so they lean against each other like open taco shells.
✅ Tip: This keeps them open so filling is easier and they bake evenly.
In a clean skillet over medium heat, cook beaten eggs.
Stir frequently until eggs are just set.
Remove from heat immediately.
✅ Tip: Slightly soft eggs are best—they finish cooking in the oven without drying out.
Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup seasoned potatoes.
Divide scrambled eggs and bacon evenly between tortillas.
Top each taco with about 1 tablespoon Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes until cheese melts.
Serve hot and enjoy!
Add salsa or hot sauce before serving.
Swap cheese: cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella works too.
Add veggies: sautéed onions, peppers, or spinach.
Make it spicy: use hot taco seasoning or add jalapeños.
Meal prep idea: cook bacon + potatoes ahead and assemble fresh.
