Ingredients
Scale
Bacon
- 4 slices bacon
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 1/2 tbsp Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix (from 6.25 oz container)
Other Ingredients
- 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)
- 8 eggs, well beaten
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)
Instructions
- Bake and Chop the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the bacon slices on an ungreased cookie sheet with sides and bake for 10 minutes until crisp. Let the bacon cool about 5 minutes, then chop coarsely into small pieces. This method produces extra crispy and less greasy bacon.
- Cook the Seasoned Potatoes: While the bacon bakes, heat canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add cubed potatoes and stir to coat in oil. Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly and stir. Cook potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until soft when pierced with a knife.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Arrange the soft corn tortillas standing against each other in an ungreased 13×9-inch glass baking dish to form open taco shells, ready for filling and baking.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a clean skillet over medium heat, cook the well-beaten eggs, stirring frequently until they start scrambling and are just set. Remove from heat while still slightly soft to keep eggs creamy as they continue cooking during baking.
- Assemble and Fill the Tacos: Fill each prepared tortilla with about 1/4 cup of seasoned potatoes. Evenly distribute scrambled eggs and chopped bacon among the tortillas. Top each taco with 1 tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake and Serve: Place the assembled tacos in the oven and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes until the cheese melts. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your flavorful breakfast tacos.
Notes
- Baking bacon in the oven ensures crispiness and less mess compared to frying.
- Use soft corn tortillas to keep the tacos tender and easy to fold.
- Scrambling eggs slightly undercooked allows residual heat to finish cooking, resulting in creamy texture.
- The Old El Paso taco seasoning can be substituted with your favorite taco spice blend.
- Leftover tacos can be wrapped and refrigerated, then reheated gently in the oven to maintain texture.
