The BEST Breakfast Tacos

These breakfast tacos offer a delicious way to start the morning with a satisfying and protein-rich meal. Fluffy scrambled eggs are paired with crispy bacon, melted cheese, creamy avocado, and a spoonful of fresh pico de gallo, al wrapped in a warm tortilla. You can prep a batch ahead and reheat them for a grab-and-go breakfast on busy mornings. They’re also easy to modify with sausage, black beans, or sautéed veggies, and taste even better with a drizzle of hot sauce or your favorite salsa.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 4 taco size flour tortillas
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cup pico de gallo

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, folding up the edges to contain the bacon grease and make cleanup easier. Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they don’t overlap. Bake for 12 to 20 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your bacon. Thinner slices will cook more quickly, while thicker cuts may take closer to the full time. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any extra grease.
  • While the bacon cooks, crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the milk along with a pinch or two of salt, and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This creates light and fluffy scrambled eggs with a creamy texture. Melt a small amount of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, spread the butter evenly across the bottom of the pan using a spatula to prevent sticking.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for about one minute. Then, using a rubber spatula, slowly and gently scrape along the bottom and sides of the pan, folding the eggs as they begin to set. Continue cooking and gently folding until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. Remove the skillet from the heat at this point to prevent overcooking and to keep the eggs soft and tender.
  • Warm the tortillas either in the microwave or in a dry skillet on the stovetop until they are soft and pliable. To assemble the breakfast tacos, place a portion of scrambled eggs in each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, slices of avocado, and a spoonful of fresh pico de gallo. Serve right away while everything is hot and full of flavor.

Notes

You can prepare the bacon in advance to save time during busy mornings. Once cooked, let it cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days and can be quickly reheated in a skillet or microwave when you're ready to use it.
If you're planning to use homemade pico de gallo, you can also make it ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the tomatoes will naturally release some liquid as it sits, so you may want to drain off the excess juice before serving to keep your tacos from getting soggy.
