With just a few ingredients, most of which can be easily substituted, you can have better-than-restaurant breakfast tacos on your table. You’ll love them for a weekend brunch, but they’re more than easy enough for a quick start to your busy weekdays! Tacos for breakfast have become the new thing in our home. I mean, why wait till lunch or dinner for those fun handheld treats? Breakfast tacos are huge in Texas. Apparently there’s a big turf war between Austin and San Antonio over who they belong to. Whatever the case, we’re just glad to eat them, no matter where they came from. The thing we love is how versatile they are. There’s no need for advance planning. Eggs? Check. Tortillas? Check. Okay, good enough, everything else will fall into place. Whatever else meats, cheeses, toppings or sauces are on hand, as long as we have the two essentials, we know there are some great breakfast tacos on the way.
Ingredients for Breakfast Tacos
There are five basic components to great breakfast tacos…
Tortillas – We prefer corn for breakfast tacos, but flour tortillas go great too. Whatever your preference. Eggs – Scrambled. Meat – Today we are using Mexican chorizo sausage. Regular pork breakfast sausage is also great here, as is bacon or ham. How about some barbacoa pork or cochon de lait? YUM! Cheese – There’s no wrong choice here. This time we went with feta. Other top contenders are cheddar, cotijo or mozzarella. Toppings – We are keeping it simple today with tomato, onion and cilantro. See below for a ton of other ideas.
Tips for the BEST Breakfast Tacos
Cook the eggs on low heat, stirring frequently. The only way to really screw these tacos up is to have rubbery eggs. Refer to the recipe card for detailed instructions. If using corn tortillas, which we prefer, double them up. We like to load our breakfast tacos up full, and single corn tortillas can tear when overloaded. You can prep most of the components a day in advance. Keep everything in individual sealed containers. Just scramble your eggs and give a quick sear to your tortillas when ready to eat. Microwave whatever other ingredients need heating.
Other Topping Ideas

Avocado (this should be cut fresh if prepping ingredients ahead of time) Beans Refried Beans Sautéed or roasted potatoes Rice Corn Jalapeños Sautéed bell peppers Sautéed mushrooms Pico de Gallo Salsa Verde Chipotle Mayo Sour cream
