Loaded breakfast tacos are a flavorful and customizable morning meal packed with eggs, crispy potatoes, cheese, and savory meats—all wrapped in warm tortillas. They’re quick, satisfying, and perfect for busy mornings, weekend brunch, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 6–8 flour or corn tortillas
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional)
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, or chorizo (crumbled)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced potatoes or hash browns (cooked until crispy)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking)

Optional Toppings:

  • Avocado or guacamole
  • Salsa or hot sauce
  • Sour cream
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Jalapeños
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Sliced green onions
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Cook the fillings: In a skillet, cook the breakfast meat until browned. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook diced potatoes until golden and crispy. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Scramble the eggs: Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a non-stick pan and scramble eggs over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat.
  3. Warm the tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp towel until warm and pliable.
  4. Assemble the tacos: Layer eggs, meat, potatoes, and cheese on each tortilla. Add any desired toppings. Serve with lime wedges or salsa.

Notes

  • Use leftover roasted potatoes or frozen hash browns to save time.
  • Customize each taco with your favorite toppings or dietary needs.
  • For a crispy tortilla, briefly pan-fry each side before assembling.
