Chef’s Note
To check if my scrambled eggs are done, I simply give the pan a gentle shake. If the eggs are still runny and liquid, continue cooking for a little bit longer and then check again. They should look fully set and fluffy.

Can these be made ahead of time?
Breakfast Tacos can definitely be made ahead of time and are a great option for meal prep or for busy mornings when you don’t have much time to cook. Simply cook the bacon and eggs, then store in the fridge. You can also assemble the tacos and wrap in foil and store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
How to Store
- Store: Store the eggs and bacon together, separate from the taco toppings and cooked tortillas, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: To reheat, simply add a scoop of eggs to a dry skillet over medium heat and cook until they are heated through. Alternatively, you can heat them in the microwave in 30-second increments until they are warm.
- Freeze: For best results, you only want to freeze the filling, not the tortillas or toppings. Frozen tortillas will be soggy when they defrost and tomatoes and avocado don’t freeze well either. Keep the filling in an sealed container for up to 3 months and either reheat from frozen or thaw in the fridge first.
Variations
- Southwest : Add some diced bell peppers, black beans, and a sprinkle of chili powder to your eggs for a southwestern twist. Top with a generous helping of salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
- Veggie: For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and load up on the veggies. Try scrambled eggs with diced tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Top with a generous helping of Guacamole.
- Breakfast Bowls: For a low-carb option, ditch the tortillas and serve everything over cooked veggies or by itself.
- Egg and Potato: Add some cooked diced potatoes to your breakfast tacos for a heartier and more filling meal. You can use regular white potatoes or try sweet potatoes instead. Another option is to use cooked butternut squash or pumpkin and fry it up real quick just like you would hash browns.
- Breakfast Taco Omelette: Try making an omelette filled with your favorite breakfast taco ingredients. Simply scramble your eggs as usual, then add in your desired fillings and cook until the eggs are fully set.
- Substitute with Corn Tortillas: These can definitely be made with corn tortillas. In fact, many people prefer the taste and texture of corn tortillas instead of flour. Simply warm the tortillas as you would flour tortillas and fill with your desired ingredients.
