Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Seasoning
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
Fillings
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
- 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled
Toppings and Tortillas
- 4 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- Salsa, to taste
- Hot sauce, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook gently, stirring frequently to scramble, until the eggs are just set but still soft and creamy. Remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas either by placing them individually in a hot skillet for 20-30 seconds on each side or heating briefly in the microwave until pliable and warm.
- Assemble Tacos: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the warmed tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded cheese and then top with cooked sausage or bacon, diced tomatoes, onions, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, salsa, and hot sauce according to your taste preference.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast tacos immediately while warm, accompanied by extra salsa or hot sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- Use flour tortillas for a softer texture or corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Substitute sausage or bacon with vegetarian sausage for a meatless version.
- Adjust seasoning and toppings to your preference for spice or freshness.
- To prep ahead, cook and store scrambled eggs separately and assemble tacos just before serving.
