How to cook eggs for breakfast tacos
The classic way to cook eggs for breakfast tacos is to scramble them…which is what we’re doing today! To scramble eggs for breakfast tacos:
- Heat oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat.
- Once hot, add in whisked eggs, salt, and pepper.
- Cook, using a rubber spatula to scramble, until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Stir in shredded cheese.
- Taste and re-season, if necessary.
If you don’t like scrambled eggs feel free to prepare the eggs your favorite way: sunny-side up, fried, etc.
Variations
The great thing about breakfast tacos is you can really make them just how you like them! Here are some ideas!
- Spice them up. Use pepperjack cheese instead of cheddar, sprinkle in red pepper flakes or serve with a drizzle of hot sauce or sriracha!
- Sub in sweet potatoes. Try my sweet potato hash instead of the roasted breakfast potatoes.
- Make them vegetarian. Use your favorite meatless “sausage” link.
- Use a different tortilla. Use warmed corn tortillas instead of flour or use a burrito sized tortilla and turn these into breakfast burritos!

How to store
Store leftover breakfast taco filling in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. I don’t recommend freezing it because the texture of the eggs will be affected.
To reheat, microwave or heat on the stove!
