Ingredients (Serves 2 – 4 Tacos)

For the Tacos:

4 small flour or corn tortillas
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk or water (for fluffier eggs)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (or pico de gallo)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1/2 avocado, sliced or mashed (optional)

Tips for Success

Fluffy eggs: Add a little milk or water to your eggs for extra fluffiness and a smooth texture.
Warm tortillas: Heat your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them soft and pliable.
Topping options: Get creative with toppings—try adding sautéed onions, jalapeños, or crispy bacon for extra flavor.

Directions

1. Prep the Ingredients

Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave them for about 15-20 seconds until warm.

2. Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or water and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add a little butter or oil.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring frequently until the eggs are just set (soft and fluffy, not dry).

3. Assemble the Tacos

Place scrambled eggs onto each warm tortilla.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs so it melts slightly from the heat.
Top with diced tomatoes, and add any other toppings like avocado or cilantro if desired.

4. Serve and Enjoy

Add salsa or hot sauce to taste for extra flavor.
Fold the tortillas and enjoy immediately while warm!

Storage

These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftover scrambled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before assembling your tacos.

FAQ: Easy Breakfast Tacos

1. Can I use egg substitutes for these tacos?

Yes! You can use egg substitutes like tofu scramble or plant-based egg products to make these tacos vegan-friendly. Adjust the seasonings as needed to match your taste preferences.

2. Can I use different tortillas?

Absolutely! You can use flour, corn, or even whole wheat tortillas based on your preferences. You could also try using lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.

3. Can I make the scrambled eggs ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the scrambled eggs ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat them gently before adding to your tacos.

4. Can I add meat to these tacos?

Definitely! You can add cooked bacon, sausage, or chorizo to your tacos for an extra savory kick. Just cook the meat before scrambling the eggs and add it to the tacos.

5. What other toppings can I add to the tacos?

The possibilities are endless! You can add sautéed mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers. Other great options include cheese slices, jalapeños, or even a fried egg for extra richness.

6. Can I make these tacos spicy?

Yes! Add some heat by topping the tacos with jalapeños, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper in the scrambled eggs. You can also use a spicy salsa for an extra kick.

7. Can I store leftover tacos?

While tacos are best enjoyed fresh, you can store the fillings separately (eggs, toppings, tortillas) in airtight containers. Store for up to 1 day in the fridge and reheat before serving. The tortillas may get soft, so it’s best to warm them up before eating.

8. Can I make the tacos without cheese?

Of course! You can skip the cheese for a dairy-free version or use a plant-based cheese alternative to make it vegan.
