Because You Can’t Fly to Austin Every Time You Crave Breakfast Tacos
Sometimes the best breakfast tacos in town are the ones that are made right in your own kitchen. If you live in Austin, Texas, where incredible breakfast tacos are to be found at just about every turn, you miiiiiight find better ones if you go out for breakfast. Just maybe. But even if you live in Austin, going out for breakfast isn’t always so appealing—after all, it requires actual pants instead of pajamas and often requires waiting in line, too! Enter these homemade breakfast tacos!
Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Breakfast Tacos (Bet You’ve Got Most of This Stuff Already)
While some people add chorizo, potatoes or additional veggies, we like to keep the breakfast taco filling as classic as possible—nothing but the good stuff, basically! Here’s everything you’ll need to make these easy breakfast tacos:
Corn tortillas
Vegetable oil
Bacon (if you’d like to make these into vegetarian breakfast tacos, just skip the bacon)
Eggs
Green chilies
Cheddar cheese
Avocado
Pico de gallo
Cilantro (totally optional—if you hate cilantro, just skip it)
Lime
How to Make Breakfast Tacos
Toast your tortillas! Warm the tortillas in a tiny bit of oil on both sides. Cover them with a towel to keep warm while you do the rest.
Cook the bacon! When the bacon is crisp, take it off the heat. Save the drippings, you’ll need them in a minute!
Whisk the eggs! The key to great scrambled eggs is to really whisk them until you can’t see any whites at all. Whisk in the green chilis and salt, too.
Scramble the eggs! In the bacon drippings! If you want to make vegetarian breakfast tacos, you could just use a bit more oil. But if you’re a carnivore, use those drippings—it’ll make the scrambled eggs SO good.
Cheese the eggs! Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and let it melt a bit.
Assemble the tacos! Eggs, then bacon, then cilantro, avocado slices, pico de gallo and a squeeze of lime juice.
Eat the breakfast tacos! Yay! The best part of making breakfast tacos!
