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)

Tortillas and Filling

  • 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)
  • 8 eggs, well beaten
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)

Instructions

  1. Bake and Chop the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the 4 slices of bacon on an ungreased cookie sheet with sides. Bake for 10 minutes until crisp. Let the bacon cool for about 5 minutes, then coarsely chop it into small pieces for easy filling. Baking ensures the bacon is extra crispy and less greasy.
  2. Cook the Seasoned Potatoes: While bacon is baking, heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the 4 cups cubed potatoes and stir well to coat with oil. Sprinkle 2 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning mix evenly over the potatoes, stirring to combine. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes until potatoes are soft when pierced with a knife.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: Arrange 8 soft corn tortillas standing against each other in an ungreased 13×9-inch glass baking dish. This keeps the tortillas upright and ready to be filled and baked.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: In a clean skillet over medium heat, cook 8 well-beaten eggs, stirring frequently until just set and beginning to scramble. Remove from heat when slightly soft to prevent overcooking, as eggs will continue cooking during baking.
  5. Assemble and Fill the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the seasoned potatoes. Add equal portions of scrambled eggs and chopped bacon to each. Top each taco with 1 tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Bake and Serve: Place the assembled tacos in the oven preheated to 375°F and bake for 10 minutes until cheese melts and tacos are heated through. Serve immediately for a warm, delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • For extra crispy bacon, bake rather than fry to reduce grease.
  • Use soft corn tortillas to hold fillings and bake well without drying out.
  • Scrambled eggs should be slightly undercooked before baking to retain creaminess.
  • Can substitute Monterey Jack with cheddar or pepper jack cheese for different flavors.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste if you prefer less spicy tacos.
  • Serve with salsa or avocado slices for added freshness.
