Description
These baked breakfast tacos are a crispy, cheesy, and easy-to-make family favorite that can be prepped ahead of time. Perfect for brunches or lazy weekends, they offer a hands-off cooking method with bold flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
- 1 lb cooked breakfast sausage, chorizo, bacon, or ham
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
- 12 large flour tortillas
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch garlic powder
- Salsa and avocado for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk 12 eggs with heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until pale and frothy.
- Ensure breakfast meat is cooked, crumbled, and drained of excess grease. Have shredded cheese ready.
- Lay tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup of egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Top the egg mixture with a generous handful of cheese and the cooked meat. Avoid overfilling.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top.
- Place tacos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not touching.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until tortillas are golden brown and crispy and eggs are set.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set.
- Serve immediately with salsa and avocado.
Notes
Drain cooked meat thoroughly to prevent soggy tortillas. Do not overfill the tacos to avoid bursting during rolling. Let tacos rest for a few minutes before serving to help the structure set. For even browning, ensure tacos are not crowded on the baking sheet.
