Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 4 slices bacon

Vegetables & Spices

  • 4 cups potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix (from 6.25 oz container)

Oils & Fats

  • 2 tbsp canola oil

Dairy

  • 8 eggs, well beaten
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 oz)

Breads

  • 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, chop or crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Using the bacon drippings in the skillet, add 2 tablespoons of canola oil and heat over medium heat. Add the 4 cups of cubed potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Season the potatoes: Sprinkle the 2 1/2 tablespoons of Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix over the potatoes. Stir very well to coat potatoes evenly with the seasoning, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes for flavors to meld.
  4. Preheat the oven: Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the assembled tacos.
  5. Assemble tacos: Lay out the 8 soft corn tortillas on a baking sheet. Divide the seasoned potatoes evenly among the tortillas. Top each with crumbled bacon.
  6. Pour eggs and add cheese: Carefully pour the well-beaten 8 eggs evenly over the tortillas and potatoes. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of all tacos.
  7. Bake the tacos: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve: Remove the baked breakfast tacos from the oven. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different flavor.
  • Use low-fat cheese to reduce the fat content.
  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce before baking.
  • Soft corn tortillas can be warmed before assembling to prevent cracking during baking.
  • Leftover baked breakfast tacos can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
