WHAT YOU NEED-
- Tortillas– You can use your preferred tortillas! Either flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or even carb balance tortillas. You can also even use hard shell tortillas for a kick!
- Eggs– The scrambled eggs mixture calls for eggs, whole milk, salt, and pepper. You can totally make it healthier and use only egg whites. You can also swap out the milk for cottage cheese or leave it out completely.
- Meat– You can use your choice of breakfast meat for these tacos. Breakfast sausage, bacon, turkey bacon, chorizo, classic taco meat, or even steak can be used! The meat can also be swapped for beans as a vegetarian option.
- Pico de Gallo– What is a taco without Pico de Gallo salsa! This Pico consists of fresh tomatoes, red onion, canned or fresh jalapeno, garlic, salt, and lime juice! You can also use store bought Pico or swap it out for store-bought salsa or homemade salsa.
- Cheese– Shredded cheese of your choice can be used! You can also use feta cheese if you prefer.
- Sauce– Don’t forget the sauce! Sauces like sour cream, Cholula hot sauce or even my taco sauce from the chicken tacos recipe goes so great with these breakfast tacos!
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BREAKFAST TACOS
These tacos come together so quickly and can be enjoyed in no time! These are also great for meal prepping!
- Prepare all the taco toppings that you are going to use. Make the Pico de Gallo.
- Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet, breaking apart the sausage as it cooks. (If you are using bacon, check out my how to cook bacon post!)
- Whisk together the ingredients for the scrambled eggs. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and sauté until cooked through and fluffy.
- Heat the tortillas and then assemble the tacos with the eggs, meat, and desired toppings.
- Serve immediately while still hot and enjoy.
MAKE AHEAD & MEAL PREPPING
These tacos are great to make ahead of time or for meal prepping! You want to cook the eggs and meat and prepare your toppings. Just be sure to store everything in separate containers to avoid the tacos from getting soggy. Then you can just heat up the tortillas, meat and eggs, assemble and enjoy! You can also add the eggs and meat to your tortillas and then wrap in foil or add to a container. When ready to enjoy, warm and then top with desired toppings and serve.
