Ingredient Breakdown
For this taco delight, here’s what you’ll need:
6 small corn tortillas: They form the perfect base, holding all those yummy ingredients together. Feel free to use flour tortillas if that’s what you’ve got on hand!
4 large eggs: Eggs are the star here! They provide a comforting, fluffy texture to the tacos.
1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon: The savory goodness of breakfast meat really amps up the flavor. You can even use turkey sausage or go meatless, your call!
1 cup shredded cheese: Cheddar and Monterey Jack are my favorites, but you can switch it up with pepper jack for a spicy kick!
1/2 cup diced bell peppers: They add a bright pop of color and crunch. Use any variety you love or have lingering in your fridge!
1/4 cup diced onions: Onions bring a sweetness as they caramelize, don’t skip this one!
Salt and pepper to taste: Just a couple pinches really brings everything together!
Optional toppings: Don’t forget the flair! Top your tacos with salsa, creamy avocado, or a dollop of sour cream for that extra level of deliciousness.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Prepping Your Tacos
Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). It’s essential for getting that cheese all bubbly and golden.
Sauté the veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and toss in your diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté those beauties until they’re softened, about 5 minutes will do. You want them to be nice and translucent and oh-so-fragrant!
Whisk the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. It’s like a savory hug for your tacos.
Mix in the good stuff: Add your cooked sausage or bacon (yum!) and the sautéed peppers and onions to your eggs. Give it a good stir until well combined.
Assemble your tacos: Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange your corn tortillas inside, forming little cups. Don’t worry about being perfect; the yumminess is what counts!
Fill ’em up: Spoon in that irresistible egg mixture, filling each tortilla generously. Top with your shredded cheese because, let’s be real, you can’t have breakfast tacos without cheese!
Bake and enjoy: Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked and the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly. Your home will smell incredible!
Serve warm: Time to dig in! Serve these tacos warm with any of your favorite toppings. Trust me, the warmth mixed with that cheesy, savory goodness is comfort food at its finest!
