These Everyday Breakfast Tacos come together harmoniously using one small pan. Highlighting simple, fresh ingredients like flour tortillas, eggs, bell peppers and spicy cheese. They are packed with protein, vegetables and flavour.
I’ve been making these breakfast tacos on repeat for some time now. Often with slight variations, and mostly dependent on what I have in the fridge. But one thing remains constant, in my house, we can eat them every day.
Since this recipe comes together quickly in one pan, it’s important to have all ingredients prepped and ready to go. This means the veggies are washed and sliced, the cheese is grated, the eggs are whisked, and all other components/tools are in sight. A popular French saying for this you may have heard before is, “Mise en place”, which in English translates to “Put in Place”.
How to make Everyday Breakfast Tacos
Since we are only using one pan to make this recipe, the order in which we prepare everything is important. Doing so in the correct order, will avoid unnecessary cleanup and ensure a smooth stress-free cooking experience.
Follow these 4 simple steps using the same pan:
Step 1 – Preheat the pan and prep your ingredients.
Step 2 – Toast your tortilla until browned. Set aside.
Step 3 – Add oil and cook bell peppers until softened. Set aside.
Step 4 – Add butter and scramble the eggs. Set aside.
Final Step – Assemble tacos. Congrats!
Tips and Suggestions
- Feeling super hungry? Try these Best Ever Roasted Potatoes or Easy Blended Coffee Frappe as the perfect side to your breakfast tacos.
- If you don’t have Greek yogurt, swap it for sour cream or hummus. All options offer a creamy texture and lots of protein.
- Switch it up and do a fried/hard-boiled egg instead of scrambled. I like the yolk to be slightly runny in both cases.
- I’m obsessed with Que Pasa Mexicana Medium Salsa, it’s got just the right amount of heat and it’s full of bright flavours.
