Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 slices Bacon Adds a smoky flavor and delightful crunch; look for a good meat-to-fat ratio.
  • 2 cups Potatoes Provides a hearty base; use firm, smooth-skinned potatoes to avoid mushiness.
  • 6 large Eggs Creates a rich, creamy filling; scramble them until just set for that soft perfection.
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese Offers great melting properties with a mild flavor; freshly shredded ensures optimal melt.
For the Tacos
  • 8 pieces Corn Tortillas Forms the essential base for each taco; fresh corn tortillas deliver the best texture and flavor.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Baked Breakfast Tacos
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
  2. In the same skillet, add diced potatoes and a pinch of salt, sautéing until golden and tender, roughly 10-12 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Pour into a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and stir gently until softly set, about 4-5 minutes; set aside.
  4. On each corn tortilla, layer the filling starting with sautéed potatoes, then scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  5. Arrange the tacos in a baking dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Look for a golden finish.
  6. Let the tacos cool for a minute before serving. Garnish with fresh salsa, avocado, or hot sauce.
